Former Wolfson doctor sentenced to six years for rape, sexual assaults
Former Wolfson doctor Aryeh Levin received six years in prison for rape and sexual offenses, despite prosecutors seeking a sentence of at least 13 years.
A former senior doctor at Wolfson Medical Center, Prof. Aryeh Levin, has been sentenced to six years in prison for a series of sexual offenses against patients and the mother of a patient. The Tel Aviv District Court ruled that the prison term was less than half of the 13 years sought by prosecutors, who have stated they will consider their next steps.
The court also ordered Levin to pay NIS 750,000 in compensation to four women affected by the offenses. The conviction covers the rape of a patient's mother, five indecent acts involving two patients, and a separate offense involving a fourth woman, with the offenses spanning from 2010 to 2021. The court emphasized the gravity of sexual offenses by medical professionals, as patients must trust them at moments of vulnerability, and noted the impact on the women's ability to trust medical care.
