Hagit Pe’er, chair of the women’s rights organization Na’amat, said in a statement it was “a shocking case that increases distrust in the systems.”

“For years we have been calling on women to be courageous and complain to the police,” yet the person who was supposed to be protecting a woman “allegedly attacked her and even threatened her not to complain [about him].”

Pe’er said that incident illustrated why women feared going to the police, and lamented, “There are still those who dare to attack women who air their accusations on social media rather than going to the police.”
