As part of a plea bargain, Jaber pleaded guilty to multiple counts of aggravated rape and aggravated sodomy. The court also ordered Jaber, a Nablus resident who had been living in Israel illegally, to pay the complainant and her boyfriend NIS 250,000 ($69,000) each in restitution.
The rape took place in May 2012, as the victim and her 17-year-old boyfriend entered the Gan Ha'ir parking lot, where their car was parked, at around 3:30 am. The attacker ambushed the two and threatened them with a blunt object, forcing them into a nearby public bathroom, where he raped and abused them.
