Shomrim leader in Bnei Brak indicted for sexual abuse
The State Prosecutor's Office today (Sunday) filed an indictment with the Tel Aviv District Court against Chaim Rotter (38), chairman of the Shomrim neighborhood watch organization in Bnei Brak, for committing severe sexual offenses against four complainants, including a minor aged 15 at the time of the offenses.So now, much like the Zaka medical movement, they too have a severe scandal tainting their record. All because they have to follow an insular custom path. Insularity is exactly what's leading to awful cases like these.
According to the indictment, submitted by Attorney Efrat Rotem from the Tel Aviv District Prosecutor's Office, Rotter exploited his position as chairman of the organization, a role he held for about 15 years, to commit offenses between 2009 and 2024.
In his role, Rotter managed all of the organization's activities, recruited volunteers, patrolled the streets of Bnei Brak, and maintained constant contact with the Israeli police station in the city. As a result, he became a well-known public figure in the city, and his position was used, according to the indictment, to harm the complainants.
The indictment attributes to Rotter a series of severe sexual offenses, including rape of a minor under the age of sixteen, causing rape to a minor, indecent acts by force, and indecent acts without consent.
