Database listing pedophiles living in Israel passes preliminary reading
The Knesset plenum passed a preliminary reading of the bill for establishing a national database listing the details of all the known pedophiles in Israel. According to the bill, the database will be open to the public.
In addition, the bill seeks to grant jurisdiction to the courts to order pharmaceutical treatment of pedophiles to lower their sexual urges. The bill was initiated by Knesset Member Eli Aflalo (Kadima). (Amnon Meranda)
