Staying At A Dead Sea Kibbutz

Other Settlers Don't See The Crime
According to the indictment, the two white teenage girls met the
suspects - Ron Rodeti, 22, Ben Evar, 21, and Dan Lahav, 22 - at the
kibbutz pub. It is alleged the Jewish men laced the drinks with a
date rape drug. The two girls went back to Lahav's apartment, where
they were given more alcohol.
There, Lahav allegedly tried to kiss one of the girls, and when
she refused, the indictment says, he removed her clothes and raped
her.

Defense Attorney Says "It Will Be A Hard Case To Prove"
All three suspects are to remain in jail until the case goes to
court, and the tourists, who police said they believed had left the
country, may or may not return to testify.
