According to the indictment, the primary school teacher used fake profiles on Hangouts, a messaging application, in order to sexually extort minors aged 14-15.
Chai Yisrael allegedly posed as a haredi (ultra-Orthodox) teenager and attempted to persuade the minors to send him photos of a sexual nature.
The indictment also claims that when his requests were denied, Chai Yisrael threatened to publish their conversations, as well as the minors' photos.
