A month and a half after the investigation into his case, a follow-up investigation was published tonight (Thursday) regarding football coach Avraham Grant.
The follow-up interrogation, as well as the first interrogation, was published on the "Exposure" program on Request 12.
Tonight's program published the testimony of a girl who experienced several unsympathetic encounters with Grant five years ago when she was only an 18-year-old high school student.
She testified that Grant took her to a dark parking lot, where he put heavy pressure on her to perform oral sex on him and even said he would pay her in return.
The girl claimed that she was in a difficult financial situation at the time and needed money and therefore could not withstand his pressure.
She was then 18 while Grant was already 62.
The complainant said: "I lived with a single mother and my father was not in the picture. I had other siblings and I had to help support. I was in school because I had a matriculation, I wanted to do driving lessons and develop, things that girls want to do."
He asked the high school student where to pick her up: "He picked me up in the car, I understood who it was, it took me a moment. I thought he was an adult, I felt like my grandfather picked me up, it was very strange. I did not understand what I was doing there. Because he was an adult It gave me confidence that he could help me and promote me in some way.I shared with him about the situation at home.We drove to the parking lot.

I knew he had children who were close to me in age and that he must be a respectable man.
He paid me and returned me.
I went in to take a shower, I had flashbacks like that and I thought about it many times.
I ran it in my head. "
Two days later they met again and again Grant drove her to an empty parking lot: "I felt stressed, and he started telling me to be serious and decide what I should do. He showed me a picture of a girl and said they were going to get to know her and she does everything. I told him I was disgusted because He's an adult and I do not want to have a relationship with him. He went on, sat in the car and said, 'You wanted me to help you, decide what you want.' "On the ceiling of the car, I just tried to look at all sorts of places and it would end. It hurt me too. It lurks over my head, it doesn't matter how far I go and get things done, it's there, it's stop anger and it affects everything."
This is not the only testimony about money for sex and another girl, who was 18, said: "He did not stop talking about how successful he is, that he teaches people to be winners, how lucky I am that I knew him and that he will support me. He invited me to him in the evening. I went Because I wanted to prove I'm a winemaker. It was a bit dark in the apartment. At first he sat away from me and talked about his successes and accomplishments, how much he is a champion. "He will not forgive me later. He led me to his room, undressed and aimed my head at his penis and I performed oral sex on him and he held my head during the entire act."
The event was done with consent.

"After two years when I was discharged from the army, he knew I needed money, so he offered me payment for what we would meet and he would pay me for sex. I do not know what went through my mind. I came to his apartment and this time it was full and he gave me 1,000 shekels. "That I am guilty of it and that I am a terrible and humble girl, I was angry with myself, but after the interrogation when I saw that girls went through similar things, I realized that the problem was with him and not with me."
Grant's mutual acquaintances and friends who linked him to young women.
A reality star said he approached her: "I was 22, Omri Shalom approached me and told me he had a good friend named Avraham Grant. Omri introduced me to Grant as someone who lived part of the time here and part in London. He brought me to North Tel Aviv, he was looking for someone "That will accompany him because he has a lot of work. Then he started sending me messages. Something was wrong, he sent me strange sentences. The interest was clear and then I stopped answering him."
Omri Shalom said: "I heard they said I was a pimp, Avraham also told me. I will tell you what it was. Avraham wanted a personal assistant, he asked for more friends. I tried to help. There were no criteria. There was even one, who was a waitress and I offered her. Avraham was a friend Mine and what he does, if it's not moral it's wrong. I did not audition for these girls. I'm not his placement company. He did not tell me what the working conditions. I saw a waitress, I matched him. "Even after the interrogation. What he did was immoral and disgusting, there is no disagreement. It sucks me to know that I matched, I linked someone as a personal assistant and he did something immoral."
A message Grant sent to another who attacked him with messages: "My dear, we set the norms, we set the values, each one and his boundaries, each one and his values. I am very valuable, my values are to help people, his survivors. These are my values. From that, there is nothing acceptable or unacceptable, I determine everything in the process. "

According to the article, the women who complained in the first class received threats from unknown sources related to Abraham Grant that they would expose them.
An 18-year-old newcomer who filed a complaint with the police about things that happened when she was 15: "Every time I would see him on TV I was disgusted. It angered me to hear someone say he was a golden man. I was a girl who did not understand what was going on in the world. Came to me, smiled and asked if I knew who he was. He said he worked in football, that he has a lot of connections. He talked about his son who is my age and I thought he could help me when I come to Israel. I kept getting pictures of him with another girl, at a bar, in restaurants , Unrelated messages too. He contacted me even though I did not ask him questions and did not answer him at all. He continued with it until I was 17, he sent me messages for years. Every year I asked him to stop and not send pictures. How many times can this be done by mistake?
I pushed him as much as I could, opened the door and ran.
I got to my car and locked myself in there.
I tried to suppress what happened.
I see him traveling, he just drove.
I don't think he even looked back, he just drove away. "
Grant claimed to have performed a polygraph test, in which a truth-teller came out by not forcing himself on the girl.
Each of the complainants underwent a polygraph by the program and were found to be telling the truth.
A message Grant sent to another who attacked him with messages: "My dear, we set the norms, we set the values, each one and his boundaries, each one and his values. I am very valuable, my values are to help people, his survivors. These are my values. From that, there is nothing acceptable or unacceptable, I determine everything in the process. "
Grant responded: "Unfortunately an exposure program chooses to present to the public a distorted, unbalanced and unfair picture of my personal life, ignoring the evidence presented to it. Alongside these things, it is important for me to say: My relationships with women have always been respectful and consensual, and I never intended to offend. I'm sorry if anyone was hurt by me and I regret it. "
