A 40-year-old resident of Ashdod was arrested on suspicion of committing sexual offenses against a mentally ill young woman.
Today (Sunday) the police will ask the court to extend his detention once more.
Last Wednesday, police were called in Ashdod following suspicion of exploiting a 24-year-old woman, who was mentally ill, by another person.
The police located the two together, and after a preliminary investigation, their suspicion grew that the person with whom she was young took advantage of her situation and committed sexual offenses with her.
The police investigation also revealed that the suspect met with the young woman several times, during which he committed sexual offenses with her.
He was questioned on suspicion of committing an indecent act and an act of sodomy while taking advantage of a mental illness.
