A sexual assault case has shaken Israel's ultra-Orthodox community, after the suspect was named and revealed to have volunteered alongside the police in a predominantly religious Jewish city.
According to Israeli media, at least six people have filed complaints against him. A rabbinical court headed by the chief rabbi of the northern city of Safed called on the victims to testify. "It is a religious obligation to testify, there is no shame in doing so," Shmuel Eliyahu wrote in a letter released by his office on Friday. "These crimes are as serious as murder in the eyes of the Torah."
