13-year-old rapes woman in Netanya

Woman attacked in stairway at night; suspect escaped from custody a few days ago

A woman of about 30 is believed to have been raped by a 13-year-old boy after returning to her Netanya home from a party Friday night.

 

A man who happened to be at the scene caught the suspect, who escaped from custody a few days ago while being transferred from the youth facility he was being held at to a court hearing.

 

The victim was walking to her home at about 2 am when the boy asked her for a cigarette. She gave him one and continued on her way but the suspect followed her into the stairway, beat her up, undressed her, and proceeded to rape her.

 

The woman resisted the attack and cried out for help but the suspect bit her and continued to hit her. During the rape, the victim managed to pull out her cell phone and attempted to call police, but the boy seized her phone and shattered it.

 

At one point, the boy's attention was diverted by the sound of firecrackers exploding outside as local teens were engaging in some Purim fun. The woman managed to escape the stairway naked and spotted a man who called police and also caught the boy.

 

Police forces rushed to the scene and arrested the suspect, who appeared to be intoxicated. Authorities later discovered that the boy already has a police record, mostly stemming from property offences he committed in the past.

 

As a new law does not permit police to interrogate a boy his age without his parents, investigators were attempting to locate the suspect's parents and summon them to the police station.

 

Meanwhile, the woman, who suffered light wounds, was taken to hospital for treatment.
