Here's the part I have a big problem with: "Kashur was originally accused of violent rape and indecent assault, but later accepted the lesser charge under a plea-bargain after prosecutors received evidence suggesting the encounter was consensual." Why was he initially charged with a violent...

I must admit that it did look like an odd charge when I read it, but I did read it in three separate articles. I thought maybe it was a unique Isreali charge.

I would like to know what you are basing this claim on. I have read several articles that say the original charge was "violent rape", so if this is wrong I don't think that any poster here is guilty of making that up.

I have not called anyone a racist. The guy was not initially charged with rape by fraud, but with violent rape. I am hoping we can all agree that pretending to be a doctor or surgeon or magical healing rabbi is not violent rape. I fail to see how the police would arrest someone for violent rape...

This case certainly shocks me. This guy says he met a woman, introduced himself as "Dudu", and later they had sex. She discovers that despite his being called Dudu he is not Jewish, so goes to the cops. The guy then spends two years behind bars based on her claim that his family and friends...

Wow, I had never considered that angle. I'll add that to my list of plausible reasons for why events unfolded as they did. Thank you.
