Rumors abounded in Israel on Thursday as to the identity of two well-known local singers who were suspected of having sex with a 15-year-old girl.

The suspects had not been arrested or questioned by Tel Aviv police although the girl has been called in to give her version of events.

According to media reports, the artists may have also smoked marijuana with the teenager and had sex with a second girl of a similar age. 

Although there is a media ban on naming the suspects, social media websites were quick to point the finger at two household name singers.

The investigation had apparently been going on for several weeks before Channel 2 reported it on Wednesday night.

The age of consent in Israel is 16.
