The release committee at Zalmon Prison ruled today (Monday) that the sentence of actor Moshe Ivgi will be shortened and he will be released from Hermon Prison in two weeks.
As I recall, Ivgi was convicted of committing indecent acts and sexually harassing four different women, and was sentenced to 11 months in prison and began serving his sentence at the end of September.
In addition, he was sentenced to six months probation and a fine of NIS 30,000 in compensation for the victims of the crime.
The committee's decision was made contrary to the opinion of the State Attorney's Office, which is expected to appeal the shortening of the sentence.
The committee said that "it is not disputed that the prisoner's actions are ugly and worthy of any derision, and there is no need to say too much about their severity.
According to the impression, the prisoner does not suffer from sexual deviation and his sexual danger was underestimated. "
The committee explained: "This is a young prisoner, who was exposed to work in the entertainment world following the exposure of the affair and has since been unemployed and far from the victims of the crime. The prisoner's behavior within the prison walls is normal. "The prisoner was treated and continued during his imprisonment. The caregivers were impressed by the positive change in his attitudes and the way he observed his actions, as well as his willingness to acquire tools to avoid similar behavior in the future.
In conclusion, they said: "The treatment he underwent, the media exposure, the damage to his social status and the imprisonment are - in the opinion of the treatment authorities - factors that reduce danger, so the chance of the prisoner committing similar offenses is low. jail".
Naamat chairman Hagit Peer vehemently opposed the decision: "The parole board continues its determination to facilitate sex offenders.
Not long ago, they decided to release sex offender Ronen Beatty, and now they decide to make it easier with sex offender Moshe Ivgi as well.
What message do they want to convey there to the brave women who have gathered the courage to complain and now see how the system pities those sexual predators? "
