Israel Police have concluded an investigation into the editor-in-chief of an Israeli newspaper, whose identity remains under a gag order, on suspicion of committing sexual offenses against one of his employees, the police said on Thursday.
The case has been transferred to the prosecution for review.
The offenses were allegedly committed in 2017 against a woman in her 30s. The complainant had reported the incident to the police in September, according to N12 News.
The offenses exploited their hierarchical workplace relationship, the police said.
"We have gathered all the details of the complaint and the investigative actions, and the ball is now in the hands of the prosecution, which will decide how to proceed with the case," a police source told N12.
Suspect released conditionally
Police decided to release the suspect after questioning, on the condition that he would distance himself from the complainant, according to N12.
