The IDF is investigating a report that about two years ago there were reports from female soldiers about the misconduct of Lieutenant Rom Abergil, who is suspected of taking more than 1,000 photos and intimate videos. Israel Today has learned that female soldiers have previously complained about very problematic conduct by The officer towards women, but no official complaint was filed in his case, despite the fact that the officer remained in various positions in the army, and continued as stated in his actions.
Lieutenant Rom Abergil was arrested on November 17 by the Southern Squadron Commander.
The officer is suspected of having secretly documented many female soldiers in intimate situations for a long period of time, severely violating their privacy, for the sake of sexual satisfaction and stimulation.
The affair was recently revealed on the Ynet website, and according to the report, investigators have more than 800 videos and hundreds of other photos documented by the officer.
The officer admittedly attributed it to him and claimed that his actions were due to addiction due to mental distress.
Meanwhile, the Chief of Staff's Adviser on Gender Affairs, Brigadier General Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi, published a letter as part of Awareness Month for the Prevention of Domestic Violence.
The IDF spokesman said: "The investigation is ongoing, so we will not be able to elaborate on the matter.
"Any material that is passed on to the investigators will be examined, and all directions of the investigation will be examined."
