The indictment alleges that Sterk offered a 17-year-old boy a carton of cigarettes and told the boy to come with him to get the cigarettes from his home. When they arrived at Sterk's home, he assaulted the boy, pushing him to the ground and choking him. Sterk threatened the boy, saying that if he said anything, he would strangle him. The boy tried to convince Sterk to end the assault by offering to pay him. Sterk responded that he did not need the money and threatened to kill the boy. Sterk continued the attack, hitting the boy and ripping his clothing. Sterk then sexually assaulted and raped the boy. He also threatened that if the boy told his parents or the police, he would “find that he had been stabbed.” The Jerusalem District Prosecutor asked to prolong Sterk's arrest until the end of legal proceedings against him. Sterk's public defender said that they would study the case and respond in court.
