Border worker at Ben Gurion Airport suspected of sexually assaulting, exploiting women entering Israel
State prosecutors are preparing to indict a Population and Immigration Authority employee who is suspected of sexually exploiting women seeking entry into Israel at Ben Gurion Airport.
Police say the suspect, a man in his 30s from southern Israel, abused his position for years by making sexual propositions to women who were trying to enter the country.
According to Hebrew-language media reports, the man’s victims were tourists.
He denied entry to those who refused his sexual advances, police say.
The suspect is also believed to have assaulted several women in bathrooms and in his vehicle while parked near the airport.
The suspect was arrested and questioned. A formal indictment against him is expected in the coming days.
