Prominent trainer suspected of raping client released to house arrest

The Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court releases a well-known personal trainer to house arrest until Thursday after he was arrested earlier this week on suspicion of having drugged and raped a client.

A sweeping gag order has been imposed on the case, and the trainer’s identity has not been permitted for publication.

The complainant filed a police report against the personal trainer over the weekend, in which she alleged that she had been drugged and raped in her own home.

While the trainer has maintained his innocence, Ynet reports that he was found to have lied on several questions during a polygraph test, including one about sexual assault.
