State prosecutors filed an indictment Thursday in Beersheba District Court against a 41-year-old Ashkelon man, alleging he sexually abused his minor daughter for about five years, beginning when she was 12 and a half. The indictment alleges that he later raped her once or twice a week after she turned 15 and used violence when she resisted. Prosecutors also accuse him of sexually harassing and threatening her through WhatsApp, and of assaulting his partner and two other minor children. The charges include rape and indecent acts within the family, sexual harassment, threats and several assault offenses.
