Haifa Magistrate's Court Judge Maria Ficus Bogdanov released a doctor under house arrest at his parents' home • Defense counsel, Adv. "• Last night, another complaint was received against him that has not yet been investigated


The Haifa Magistrate's Court today (Thursday) released from detention Dr. Guy Rofa, the gynecologist suspected of committing indecent acts on his patients. Judge Maria Ficus Bogdanov released a doctor under house arrest at his parents' home until January 20. Last night another complaint was received about a doctor, but She has not yet been questioned. 

A doctor's defense attorney, Adv. Zion Amir, argued in court that “there is no justification for extending detention.

My client was arrested 11 days ago and is a man with no criminal record who apart from the current suspicions, has never gotten involved with the law, lived a normative family life, a good community man and the son of a hospital manager.

From the moment he knew he was going to be questioned, he fully cooperated with the police investigations.

We came from a first hearing in which he was accused of raping several women, to a situation where one woman accuses him of an indecent act. "

Advocate Amir continued to reprimand the police for her conduct: "During all the investigations, my client did not maintain his right to remain silent and told everything with full candor in the investigations, came to a confrontation with the complainant, stood in front of her and gave his version and she's her version.

The investigations can be conducted with the same efficiency without stopping him.

Police asked for five days and the court gave only one day, "today the prosecutor told the court that only about three-quarters of the investigative actions were done."

Judge Ficus Bogdanov wrote in her decision: "The suspect was arrested on January 3 on suspicion of committing an indecent act. Today another complaint was filed on suspicion of committing the same offense. After reviewing the investigation file I was convinced that It is a legitimate medical treatment or it is an indecent act. "

"In my opinion, most of the remaining investigations are not disruptive and most of the investigation can be terminated when the suspect is released under the following conditions: full house arrest at his parents' home until January 20, prohibition on the suspect contacting the complainants, even those whose suspicion has been removed for 30 "Day, a ban on the suspect to practice medicine for 30 days and a deposit of ten thousand shekels to ensure conditions of release," concluded Ficus Bogdanov.
