A woman whose parents are charged with raping her for 13 years and causing two pregnancies is suing the state for failing to act for several years, Channel 12 reports.
The woman is asking for NIS 4 million ($1.15 million) noting that the abuse continued long after she first filed complaints.
A commission that reviews complaints against state prosecutors noted the case took an abnormally long time to go to trial, with over three and a half years passing between the time prosecutors received the case until charges were filed.
According to the charges, the woman’s father raped and sexually assaulted her from the time she turned 17 in 2003 until 2016, and her mother also participated in the assault after the daughter turned 18.
As a result of the rape, the daughter became pregnant twice. She carried the first pregnancy to term, but the baby died at nine months old as a result of rare genetic defects. She aborted the second pregnancy.
