"A few days later, he told me he loves me.""I needed someone to care about me, and he took advantage of that and it progressed to sex. At first I resisted, but at some point, I could no longer say no."Attorney Roni Aloni-Sadovnik, who specializes in cases of sexual misconduct, represents H. "This is a serious crime of psychological damage in an extreme case of sexual conduct by a person in position of authority," she told N12.
