In depth

Adam Yassin (42), a resident of East Jerusalem and a sex offender under supervision, is accused of following a woman in her 20s when she left a club in Tel Aviv, breaking into her apartment and raping her in the bedroom. According to the indictment, Yassin entered the apartment with the intent to commit a crime, stole the keys and raped the complainant while she was in a state that prevented her from resisting.

About two weeks later, according to the indictment, Yassin returned to the young woman's apartment and committed an indecent act against her until she drove him away. The suspect is subject to a supervision order due to earlier sex offenses he committed, including an indecent act against a six-year-old girl in 2005, for which he was sentenced to two years in prison.

The indictment was filed with the Tel Aviv District Court on charges of rape, multiple counts of indecent acts, entering a residence with intent to commit a crime, theft and violating a supervision order. According to the indictment, videos of women that he filmed in public spaces were found on Yassin's mobile phone. The victim's attorney demands answers as to how the suspect was able to continue operating despite the supervision order.
