"Everyone Knew": The Ivgi Affair

The prosecution appealed the partial acquittal and the sentence of Moshe Ivgi: "There is no expression for his actions"

According to the prosecution, the Magistrate's Court erred in not basing the actor's conviction on the reliability of each of the complainants, "a comprehensive examination of the women's testimonies and the court's rulings regarding them, necessitated the conclusion that Ivgi should be convicted of the charges in the indictment." Ivgi continues to claim innocence.

Yesterday, Ivgi filed an appeal with the Haifa District Court against his conviction and the sentence imposed on him. Attorney, attorney Michael Carmel, asked to submit a "new evidence" and perhaps even a new time some of the witnesses, including the complainant A, "according to developments that occurred after the sentencing."

Ivgi maintains his innocence all along, and his lawyer has expressed his intention to appeal already with the granting of the verdict. So, he promised "to appeal against the conviction of my client's wrong and fight for acquittal of all charges."

In response to the declaration of the prosecution to appeal, said attorney Carmel that it stems from an internal audit. "Only in a country like Israel can the same body that conducted a failed trial and lost can decide for itself on the appeal of a credit," he said. "Without any outside criticism from another attorney who will examine whether there is any real appeal, I am convinced that the state's appeal will reject all levels and lawfully."

The prosecution's reasoning for filing the appeal states that "certainly when the three complainants in the case - women who are strangers to each other, from different places and fields, each told about how they met Ivgi and were harmed by him - whether through forbidden sexual contact or degrading and humiliating speech."

They added that "the acts described by the three indicate a series of sexual offenses committed by Ivgi against women, exploitation of situations and exploitation of his status, even though it is not a matter of power or dependence. In addition, the evidence presented to the court taught a consistent and degrading and degrading sexual attitude. Of Ivgi towards women, in deeds and in text, "they added.

Accordingly, the prosecution concluded that "the aforesaid rulings, along with all the events and evidence brought before the Magistrate's Court, should have led to Ivgi's conviction on the charges from which he is acquitted." Regarding the sentence handed down to Ivgi, the prosecution argued that "he does not give proper expression to Ivgi's blatant and despicable actions, which require a clear and unequivocal statement that women's bodies are not no man's land and that such offenses will be met with severe and dissuasive punishment."
