Tech CEO indicted on pedophilia charges, accused of raping several children

The State Attorney’s Office indicts cybersecurity CEO Itay Levy on pedophilia charges after he was arrested by police earlier this month.

Levy, who ran the Kernelios cybersecurity firm before getting ousted over the charges, is suspected of raping several young children, all between the ages of four and 12, over the past two years.

During a search of his home in Modiin, police investigators found that he had taken sexually explicit photos and videos of minors, then saved them to his phone. A Justice Ministry spokesperson says the evidence shows Levy would sneak into his victims’ rooms at night as they slept.

“The defendant approached them, rolled up the hems of their undergarments, looked at their lower bodies, including their buttocks and genitalia, masturbated, and in some cases reached sexual gratification,” the spokesperson says.

According to Maariv, Levy assaulted a total of nine children, many of whom were close to him. Since he preyed on minors, there is a ban on publishing any information that could lead to the identification of the victims.
