The Israel Prison Service arrested a supervised sex offender moments before he committed sexual offenses against a mother and her daughter, according to an IPS spokesperson.
Members of the IPS “Tzur” unit, whose purpose is to “locate, track and thwart the intentions of supervisees who commit repeated sexual offenses,” detained the man and, with the help of police, arrested him.
As part of its ongoing operational covert activity, Tzur supervisory officers monitored a sex offender who is a resident of the Center for the Prevention of Recidivism.
The supervisee was observed and recorded at the entrance to the street where he lives, trying to commit an indecent act in public in front of a mother and her daughter.
Officers prevented the offense
The supervision officers acted to prevent the offender from committing the sexual offense.
Following the violation of his release order and his arrest, an investigation was opened in the case.
“The unit will continue to carry out overt and covert actions to prevent the commission of sexual offenses, for the sake of maintaining public peace,” said an IPS spokesperson.
