Levine, 64, has been remanded for four days by the Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court. He is denying wrongdoing and arguing that his actions were necessary for the medical treatment he was giving.
A senior police source is cited by Haaretz saying a professional opinion by experts contradicts the defense’s claims.
Levine, who also has a private clinic, is suspected to have committed the offenses over a number of years, Israel Police said in a statement yesterday. Among his suspected crimes is the rape of a girl under the age of 14, police said.
