Police recommend 6 months’ community service for former top cop convicted of indecent act
The Police Internal Investigations Department asks the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court to sentence former Jerusalem police chief Nissan “Niso” Shaham to up to six months of community service.
Shaham was charged in 2013 with sexual harassment, five counts of breach of trust and five counts of indecent acts for having sexual relations with multiple female police officers under his command who were much younger and of relatively low rank in the police.
However, in April, the Tel Aviv District Court acquitted him of most of the charges, citing flaws in the investigation. He was convicted on one count of an indecent act for kissing a police officer.
