Exposure of "Israel Today": Yair's (pseudonym) encounter with the familiar character
As you may recall, earlier this month, the story of Yair (pseudonym), who left his home when he was only 13 and moved to Tel Aviv, was revealed in "Israel Today".
Yair lived on the street, slept in stairwells and on the beach.
As part of his attempts to survive, he came to the old Central Station area and worked in prostitution.
"I came to Tel Aviv and my last resort was prostitution," said Yair, "I really had no other choice. I quickly realized that everyone who comes to the street at such a young age, gets there because he wants to continue living.
"I would stand on the road, they would stop next to me, ask me some questions and then I got in the car. Then we would drive to a quiet place, there were some fixed places and there perform the act that I would just wait for it to end. They would pay me and I would get out of the car. I would wait for the next customer. "
According to Yair, at the beginning of his career he met a politician from the central region who paid for sex services.
"I first met him when I was 15. He came with his vehicle and I remember there was a really bad smell in the vehicle and inside it was a very stressed person."
According to Yair, the same politician drove him to a nearby place where he began stroking him and performing a sexual act on him.
According to him, after two weeks the same person came back again.
"For half a year we meet regularly once every few weeks. He would come there and if I was there, he obviously wanted me."
