"I was disgusted with him. I thought it would be over soon": Additional evidence against Abraham Grant | Israel today

Abraham Grant continues to get involved?

A little more than a month after the first interrogation on Haim Etgar's 12 show "Exposure", another interrogation was broadcast last night (Thursday) that includes new testimonies from women who reveal that in some cases the former coach used to pay for sexual intercourse with an 18-year-old girl.

Among other things, the program published a girl's testimony of several intimate encounters with Grant five years ago when she was an 18-year-old high school student.

"We were sitting in a dark parking lot and the car doors were locked, I felt pressure. I felt I needed to do something he wanted from me."

In the young testimony she said: "He is a very old and very familiar person and I felt I should do what he says. He was also very good at convincing that it's okay, and that's what you do to move forward and that's what you do to make money. He also stressed it's not such a big deal. Just get off him.

"If I'm not mistaken, he offered between 300 and 500 shekels in return. It was not gentle, he is not a gentle man at all, even rude. He pushed his head, pushed himself. I always thought it would soon be over. That it would just end. At one point. I was disgusted with him, disgusted with myself, it almost felt like prostitution to me. I did not think it would roll into it because it was Abraham Grant after all ... ".

The program aired the testimony of another young woman, who was an 18-year-old soldier when she met Grant.

The same acquaintance included messages she sent on her own initiative and requests for gifts from her throughout the various, the young woman said that a mutual acquaintance met her at Grant about seven years ago claiming she might be able to work for him.

"He invited me to him in the evening. I went because I wanted to prove I was a winer. It was a bit dark in the apartment. At first he sat far away from me and talked about his successes and achievements, he said to me: 'Are you a girl? We came to play here?'. "If I say no, he will not forgive me later. He led me to his room, undressed and aimed my head at his penis and I had oral sex with him and he held my head during the whole act."

All this was in agreement.

After two years when I was discharged from the military, he knew I needed the money, so he offered me payment for the one we would meet and he would pay me for sex.

I do not know what went through my mind.

I went to his apartment and this time it was full and he gave me 1,000 shekels.

For a long time I believed that I was to blame for it and that I was 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. "

In further testimony was brought the testimony of the young woman who filed a complaint with the police against Grant.

The young woman claims that when she was a 15-year-old girl she met Grant during a flight.

According to her, Grant sent her messages and pictures of himself with girls for two years despite her requests that he stop.

"I wanted to buy cannabis and I had no direction, I sent him a message and said he would help me. We met at a gas station, I was stressed, he told me to come in. I did not think twice and went in. He stopped at the gas station door, he bought a bottle of wine, we drove 100 meters From the gas station and I started to think something was strange. His look scared me the most, I felt something was wrong the second he opened the wine. I barely drank a glass and he started touching me. He said nothing, nothing to tell me it was going to happen. He sent me a hand back. "Of the neck, pull me to kiss him. He felt my resistance, but he succeeded."

"I did not say anything. I hoped it would just end there, but I realized he was not going to let me leave. He stayed in the same position, still grabbing me. I pushed him as much as possible, opened the door and ran. I did not look back, I got to my car and locked myself inside. "And I told myself it did not happen now. I saw him traveling, he just drove."

Abram Grant said in response to the program: "Unfortunately, the" Exposure "program chooses, for the second time, to present to the public a distorted, unbalanced and unfair picture of my personal life, ignoring evidence presented to it. Alongside these things it is important for me to say: "And with consent, and I never intended to hurt. I'm sorry with all my heart if anyone was hurt by me and I regret it."
