Police expected to close statutory rape case against soccer players

The statutory rape case against two Maccabi Tel Aviv soccer players is expected to be closed, Channel 12 reports.

The two players were interrogated on Sunday over suspicions that they had sex with two underage girls.

The TV report says investigators have been presented with correspondence indicating that the girls lied about their age.

Barring new revelations in the testimony of the second girl, police are expected to close the case.
