Girl, 6, raped in Ra'anana
The Jerusalem Post - March 17, 1993
A six-year-old girl was raped in a public park in Ra'anana
on Monday evening. She was treated for injuries at a hospital and sent home.
News of the attack was held back until police arrested the suspected rapist,
who is to be brought for a remand hearing this morning.
The girl told police that the man, about 30, had asked
her to help look for his daughter in the park, then assaulted her and fled.
She made her own way home and told her parents of the attack. The suspect
was arrested on the basis of her description.

Suspected child rapist
cleared
The Jerusalem Post - March 18, 1993
The man held as a suspect in Monday's rape of a
six-year-old girl in Ra'anana will apparently be released this morning, as
police said yesterday they are now convinced he is innocent.
The girl helped police compile a composite drawing
of her attacker, but could not positively identify the suspect. His alibi
also proved out.

The Jerusalem Post - Monday, March 22, 1993
THE man who raped a six-year-old girl in a Kfar Sava
park last week has been arrested, police said yesterday.
A suspect had been picked up the day after the attack,
but was released when his alibi held up.
Yesterday, a kindergarten teacher, out on a trip with
her charges in the same park where the rape took place, noticed a man caressing
the heads of young girls. The teacher, Sari Bachar, alerted police who arrived
within minutes. The man resisted arrest, but after a struggle was taken in
for questioning.
Police said the man, 26, from Ra'anana, confessed to
the rape, providing investigators with details that only the rapist could
have known.
The suspect is thought to be mentally disturbed, and
was remanded for 10 days by Kfar Sava Magistrates Court, which sent him for
psychiatric observation.

The Jerusalem Post - April 13, 1993
THE ACCUSED rapist of a six-year-old girl was committed
to a mental hospital on Sunday by the Tel Aviv District Court.
Yitzhak Zarif, 26, of Ra'anana was examined by doctors
at Shalvata Hospital and found incompetent to stand trial for the rape, which
took place in a Ra'anana park on March 15.
He was charged with rape and causing grievous bodily
harm, after being identified by another girl at the scene. Zarif was also
charged with committing indecent acts on two 10-year-old girls in the same
park about a week before he allegedly raped the six-year-old.
Judge Uri Goren acceded to the prosecution's request
for a commitment order and suspended the proceedings against Zarif. The judge
said he did not see any legal reason not to allow the publication of the
accused's name.
