A 28-year-old man from Holon has been indicted for multiple instances of sexual harassment against Social Equality Minister May Golan.
The accused, identified in the indictment as Tomer Guy, contacted Golan via Facebook Messenger on several occasions in 2023 with messages containing sexually degrading content.
In one excerpt from a message sent on July 5, 2023, and cited in the indictment, Guy referred to Golan as a “pissed-off whore” and “little slut,” while vowing that he “wouldn’t rest until we throw you and your group of garbage people into the trash can of history.”
In total, Guy sent eight messages to Golan, each one containing similarly vulgar language to the first, and some containing descriptions of sexual acts he claimed she “wanted” from him.
Golan was initially appointed to head the ministry for the advancement of the status of women in May 2023. The ministry was absorbed into the Social Equality Ministry in January of this year, becoming the Social Equality and Advancement of the Status of Women Ministry.
