The Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office on Thursday submitted to a court a request to add rape charges to the indictment of a man accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl at a state-run coronavirus hotel after only being previously charged with unlawful but consensual sexual encounter.
Yarin Sherf, 21, was accused of raping the teen at virus facility for at-risk youth earlier this month when the two were quarantined together in the same hotel. According to the initial complaint, the man formed a friendship with the teen to gain access to her room and then raped, choked and beat the alleged victim for two days straight, all while supplying her with drugs and alcohol.
