Pedophilia

Known for his online personality as "Boopac Shakur," 40-year-old Michael Lee was inspired to catch pedophiles by his love for his own children.

The initiative falls under the auspices of the Israel Police's Unit 105, a section of the Lahav 433 unit that specifically handles children's safety on the Internet. 

Unlike forums and file-sharing services where illegal content distributors typically hide, Instragm's algorithm actively promoted such content.

The alleged manager of the group is suspected of charging an entry fee from the group's participants.

The age of consent in Israel is 16 for all genders but can be as low as 14 provided both parties consent and have a 3-year age gap or less.

Among those who testified on Stephen Weiss’ behalf in a bid for leniency was a prominent rabbi in the Conservative movement.

Three suspects were arrested in three different cases of sexual abuse of a minor in Jerusalem.

In 2022, he confessed to the crimes he committed six years earlier in Israel and was sentenced last week.

Changing the language used to refer to pedophiles was apparently intended to be a part of an effort to stop child abuse.

Living in a religious community does not afford one or one’s children protection from predators. All sectors of Israeli society need to address and combat sexual abuse.
