Tel Aviv District Court indicts Edward Nisimov on multiple counts of fraud, false representation, extortion and aggravated assault; said he was Roman Abramovich

Edward Nisimov, 25, from Akko, was indicted Sunday on multiple counts of fraud, false representation, extortion and aggravated assault, against women he met on the popular dating website JDate.

He was accused of approaching several women registered on the site, while using several different identities to con them out of money. On one occasion he allegedly pretended to be billionaire businessman Roman Abramovich.

Nisimov was further accused of promising at least four of the women he contacted – all single mothers – that he would help them in acquiring an apartment, a car and additional social security benefits, in exchange for some of the money. He was able to con them into giving him over $100,000.

Some of the women reportedly refused to pay Nisimov for his help, at which point he threatened them and their children and even held one of the women at knife point.

The Tel Aviv district prosecutor's office told Ynet that Nisimov pled guilty to all counts of the indictment, saying his addiction to gambling drove him to it. He was arraigned by the Tel Aviv District Court.
