Charges were filed against Arieh Goldman in Tel Aviv District Court, Israel Wednesday for sodomizing and molesting five boys aged nine to 15, The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday.
Since his arrest over a month ago, Goldman, 21, has confessed to sexually assaulting nearly 50 youths, police said. Charges have been brought only in five cases, as many of the children Goldman confessed to assaulting, and their parents, have denied being victimized by him, Ramle police chief Yifrah Ducovny was quoted by the paper as saying.
Goldman has been remanded until today, when the court is expected to extend his remand until the end of proceedings.
Goldman's attorney, Eyal Simhony, cast doubt on the authenticity of his client's confessions, maintaining that he may have admitted to things he didn't do -- Albawaba.com
