A Jerusalem man in his 40s is accused of sexually assaulting a minor and administering a date-rape drug at a party.

A resident of Jerusalem was suspected of sexual assault of a minor and of providing a date-rape drug at a party near Beit Shemesh, police reported in mid-July.

Following a complaint being filed of severe sexual offenses at a party, Jerusalem District Police began an investigation of the incident, resulting in the identification and arrest of the suspected individual.

According to the police, it was believed that the suspect drove the victim home, where he provided him with a date-rape drug, and committed the alleged sexual assault before returning to the party venue.

Arrested for sexual offenses

An arrest warrant for the suspect, a resident of Jerusalem in his 40s, whose details are under a court-issued gag order to protect his identity while further investigation and legal procedures are being conducted, was issued shortly after he was arrested.

Among the suspected offenses were sodomy of a minor, supplying drugs to a minor, and indecent acts with a minor.

The suspect's detainment was extended until August 20.
