Former Border Police officer indicted over alleged sexual harassment of a minor on Instagram
Yazan Goaya proposed meeting the minor for sexual activity, offered money, requested photographs, and sent sexually explicit messages to a child under 14 years of age, the indictment alleged.
Former Border Police officer Yazan Goaya has been indicted for sexually harassing a child under the age of 14 via Instagram, according to the Justice Ministry's Police Investigation Department (PID). The indictment alleges that Goaya repeatedly proposed sexual activity to the minor, offered money, requested photos, and sent explicit messages, even after being informed of the child's age.
The charges were filed by attorney Hila Cohen of the PID with the Nazareth Magistrate's Court. Goaya, who served in the Jerusalem Border Police, is accused of knowing the minor's age but persistently suggesting meeting for sex and meeting them at his home. The indictment does not mention any physical contact or meeting taking place.
The investigation was conducted by the Jerusalem team of the PID, and prosecutors may seek a prison sentence if Goaya is convicted. The PID's institutional future is currently under scrutiny amid legislation that separates the department from the State Attorney's Office, establishing it as a separate Justice Ministry investigation and prosecution body.
