Several months ago, police received complaints from parents of the girls, noting that the suspect had been sending sexually explicit messages and photos, via Facebook.
A police investigation revealed that the IP address from which the messages were sent belonged to the suspect's neighbor.
In a police questioning, the neighbor insisted he had nothing to do with the case. "We realized the suspect was connecting to the neighbor's wireless network and sending the pictures and text to the girls," Superintendent Aryeh Alkobi told Ynet.
