Actor Rami Heuberger and the make-up artist who accused him of sexual assault held a face-to-face meeting on Wednesday at the Rehovot police station.

The meeting went on for an hour and a half, during which both sides presenting their version of events to the police.

The complainant stated in the meeting that Heuberger committed indecent behavior and grabbed her breasts. Heuberger stated that he remembered meeting the woman but denied her version of events.

Police investigators still have not decided which version of events they believe, and the case file will be handed over to the Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office in the coming days for a decision on the matter.

Heuberger was questioned by police 10 days ago on suspicion of sexually assaulting a make-up artist who he worked with a year ago.

During the questioning, Heuberger denied the charges against him and was released on bond with a restraining order issued against him to stay away from the complainant.

The complainant, a young Tel Aviv resident, filed a complaint last week, saying Heuberger sexually assaulted her during a cigarette break the two shared while working on a student film on a moshav near Rehovot.

Heuberger characterized the complaint against him as "empty, ugly, and lies."
