A well-known personal trainer from Tel Aviv has been arrested over allegations he drugged and raped a client, Hebrew media reports.

Details of the investigation, including the identity of the trainer, cannot be published at this time, but Channel 12 news reports that a past prime minister was a client of the suspect in the past.

The alleged victim says that a friend found her hours after a social gathering with the trainer and another person, Channel 12 reports.
