Since their arrest last week the suspects have been remanded a few times, until the Jerusalem District Court released them Monday under restrictions. Two of the men are from the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council, while the third suspect is a Hadera resident.

The investigation into the matter began late January afer one of the women filed a complaint alleging a resident of the Binyamin Regional Council, a father of five, drugged her in order to take advantage of her, and performed indecent acts on her at his house and in different guest houses.

At one point the man introduced the complainant to another man, also from the Binyamin region, and persuaded her to accompany them to a "recreational club" on various pretexts. Upon arrival, the complainant discovered it was a swingers club. She claimed she was then forced to have sex with dozens of men in the suspects' presence, as he took payments from the men who had non-consensual sex with her. Additionally, the complainant said the suspect raped her in his car after they left the club.

According to the complainant, on another occasion the main suspect took her and another woman whom he gave drugs, to the third suspect's Hadera apartment. She claims the man fed them drug-filled chocolate unbeknownst to them and, as the narcotics took effect, raped both of them.

The complainant added the prime suspect attempted to act as a middle man between her and the other girl and men for paid sex. They said he threatened to withhold food and drugs from them should they refuse.

Police also said the main suspect took the complainant to a Yokneam apartment in order to place her in a massage establishment and film her for a pornographic film.
