Police mulling charges in leak of rape accuser’s ID
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael Police is consulting with the army on whether to bring charges against those who leaked the name and image of a woman accusing an IDF general of rape.
IDF Brig. Gen. Ofek Buchris was indicted by the Military Advocate General on Thursday for rape, sodomy and sexual assault against two female subordinates between 2010 and 2012. He denies the charges.
Israel has very strict rules against releasing information about alleged victims of sexual assault, which were put in place to protect complainants and encourage them to come forward. Violating these rules can result in criminal charges.
