New sexual assault complaint filed against pop star Eyal Golan
Israeli musician Eyal Golan revealed on Wednesday that he is currently under investigation for sexual assault, after Hebrew-language media reported in recent days that police were investigating a complaint against a “famous singer.”
Details of the complaint against Golan were first reported by Channel 12 on Monday.
The complaint dealt with allegations from around 10 years ago, the network reported, and it was filed around six months ago following unspecified events that prompted the complainant to go to the police.
The complainant, a beautician, met Golan when he came to her for a facial treatment, Channel 12 reported. She alleged to the police that upon entering her clinic, Golan removed his pants and underwear, exposing his genitalia to her, and made untoward sexual comments. She alleged that he later pushed her to send him nude images, Channel 12 said.
As the alleged incident is a decade old, the Walla news outlet reported that police are examining whether the statute of limitations may have already expired, given that the alleged crime would fall into the lowest tier of sex offenses under Israeli law.
At the same time, Walla reported, the woman also filed complaints against several of Golan’s close........
