"After corresponding through ICQ for past few weeks, rape suspect invites 15-year-old girl to his home; apologetic message to be used as evidence
A 15-year-old girl from Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv, was raped Monday night by a teenager she met through the Internet. The 19-year-old suspect convinced her to meet him at his home, where he apparently attacked and raped her.
Later, the suspect tried to contact the girl through the ICQ computer software and apologized for his acts. The apology message was discovered by police investigators and will serve as court evidence against the young man.
The girl arrived at the Rehovot police station at around midnight, and early Tuesday the station's detectives detained the suspect. On Tuesday he is expected to be brought in for an extension of his detention at the Rishon Lezion Magistrate's court.
Police officials have already warned long ago that the Internet presents many dangers, especially for youths who are tempted to meet strangers. According to police estimations, this is what happened to the 15-year-old girl, who had been corresponding with the rape suspect through ICQ for the past few weeks.
Suspect detained in early morning hours
After winning her trust, on Monday the suspect offered her to meet him at his home, and the girl agreed. During the meeting the teenager asked the girl to massage his back, and then to have sexual intercourse with him. When she refused, he attacked and raped her, before fleeing the scene. The girl arrived at the Rehovot police station and filed a complaint, but could not point to the suspect's exact home address. Police investigators managed to discover the suspect's computer address and were then able to identify the apartment's location and arrested him in the early morning hours. Chief Superintendent Alon Levavi, commander of the Rehovot police station, said that "the suspect has tied himself to the incident." "He is a young man who had won the minor's trust, and raped her once they met," Levavi said."
