Key facts

•The suspect is a school security guard, approximately 50 years old
•The incident took place at a school in Jaffa
•The complaint was received at the Jaffa Police Station in the Ayalon District
•The publication was last updated on October 16, 2026
•Police plan to ask the court to extend the detention

The Student’s Complaint

The student contacted the Jaffa Police Station in the Ayalon District on the evening before the arrest. According to police, she alleged that the security guard who worked at her school sexually harassed her and apparently prevented her from leaving the school grounds against her will.

The Investigation and Arrest

After receiving the complaint, police opened an investigation. Officers collected evidence and additional materials and took steps to locate the suspect. In the morning, the security guard was arrested and brought to the Jaffa Police Station for questioning, after which he was placed in detention.

What Will the Court Decide?

Police intend to ask the court to extend the suspect’s detention. The original report did not specify the name of the court, the length of the requested extension, or the court’s decision. It also did not report that an indictment had been filed, and therefore these remain allegations only at the investigative stage.

What this means for you

The report shows that a student’s complaint of possible sexual harassment and restriction of liberty may lead to an immediate police investigation and the suspect’s arrest. An extension of detention requires a separate court decision and does not in itself indicate that guilt has been proven or that an indictment has been filed.
