Jerusalem rabbi arrested after sexually assaulting his underage daughters

An Israeli rabbi was arrested and charged with sexually assaulting minor girls after he was accused of sexually abusing his own underage daughters, according to police reports in Jerusalem, Israel.

The prominent rabbi was arrested last week for allegedly sexually abusing three of his daughters for more than 10 years.

The rabbi, who has not been publicly identified, is reportedly charged with multiple counts of sexual assault and violation of privacy.

The rabbi is currently in jail pending the completion of the police investigation.

The indictment that was filed in Jerusalem District Court claims that the rabbi began sexually abusing three of his daughters, who are between 12 and 14-years-old, 10 years ago.

According to the indictment, the rabbi ordered his oldest daughter to sleep naked with the younger daughter. The rabbi also put a video camera in her room and watched as she dressed and showered.

The rabbi's daughters have agreed to testify against their father at trial, police said.
