Child sexual abuse

A French court convicts retired surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec of abusing hundreds of patients, including children, for over 25 years.

Twenty-two suspects were arrested in a joint operation by the youth division of the Police Investigations Department and Unit 105 of Lahav 433.

The arrested man, a 20-year-old, had made statements online about his interest in “political and revenge-driven” mass casualty events, drawing inspiration from the 2018 Tree of Life attack.

The suspect, Uri Alfi, is accused of multiple crimes, including causing sodomy rape and indecent acts against children and family members.

The online group operated in California, and actively supporting neo-Nazism, nihilism, and pedophilia as the core principles.

The man was accused of dealing his daughter's photos in order to receive more child pornography.

The teenage girl was choked by her parents outside her school in Washington, for reportedly refusing to travel to Iraq to marry an older man.

A bill was put forward to end the statute of limitations on child sex abuse, making it easier for victims to file complaints. Justice Minister Yariv Levin opposes, fearing innocents being accused.

The NCMEC has not yet published the total number of child abuse content reports from all sources that it received in 2023, but in 2022 it received reports of about 88.3 million files.

Translations of "chicken soup" in other languages are believed to act as coded language to post child pornography on social media without a trace.

According to some estimates, there are some 200 known abusers in Israel, many of whom fled from other countries to avoid prosecution.
