As will be recalled, following the publication of the investigation, Ochowski announced his resignation as president of Iggy, the proud youth organization in Israel.

According to the investigation, Ochowski forced himself during a sexual encounter with a man from the gay community, exercised physical force and ignored his requests to stop.

In another case he forced himself on another person during a work meeting.

Regarding the first case, Ohovsky stated on his behalf that "a sexual encounter was scheduled between those involved. The sexual encounter ended amicably and until the moment of your referral, Gal knew nothing about the community member's feelings. After receiving the referral, Gal found out "The community, who contacted Gal and asked to transfer recordings and screenshots that testify to this. However, out of understanding and sensitivity, Gal wants to apologize from the bottom of his heart to the person for the bad feeling he was caused."

As for the second testimony, it was stated: "Contrary to what is required by law and the rules of ethics, no details were provided by the corporation regarding it and Gal has no way of responding or defending against an incident that was not disclosed to him.

Ahovsky added: "As someone who has dedicated his life to the community, Gal has decided that his responsibility obliges him to cease his activities as president of 'Iggy', the proud youth organization. The organization is the enterprise of his life, and he does not want any blemish to stick to it."

Minister Michaeli also commented on his resignation, writing: "Gal Ohovsky did well to resign and apologize for the indecent and seemingly forbidden acts attributed to him in the investigation here tonight. Who to contact. "
