The Be'er Sheva Magistrate's Court today (Wednesday) sentenced Idan Michalov of Ofakim to 5 years in prison, who was convicted of sexual harassment, harassment and invasion of privacy after he distributed the photos of more than 100 women, including minors, on paid Telegram channels he managed.
The court also determined that he would pay financial compensation to the victims.
The 22-year-old Michalov was convicted of systematically distributing intimate photos and videos of 133 women, including 30 minors who were between the ages of 14 and 18 at the time of the filing of the indictment.
Mikhailov published the contents to thousands of users, without the women's consent, while revealing their personal details.

According to the indictment, about 2,900 users were members of the channels managed by Michaelov.
Among the channels he managed, there were also some for which he charged a one-time or monthly fee.
The indictment states that the young man used to emphasize to the users that the content he publishes is exclusive sexual content that does not appear on other platforms.
To prove to users that the young women and minors are indeed Israeli, Michalov used to publish their profile pages from social networks, along with their photos and personal details.
