A man in his 20s has been arrested under suspicion of rape of his 26-year-old neighbor in Ramat Gan.
The woman who filed the complaint has claimed that the man came to her apartment, and, knowing that she was under the effects of sleeping pills, forced himself on her and raped her while she could not put up any resistance.
Immediately following her complaint, police arrived at the scene and arrested the suspect, with whom the victim is familiar.
In his interrogation, the man claimed that he had consensual relations with his accuser. Following the investigation, he was imprisoned and appeared in court Sunday morning, where his arrest was extended until Monday.
Police are investigating both his and the accuser's versions of the story.
