There's been a scandal involving statutory rape at a school in Tel Aviv that the education ministry's asked be investigated:

Education Minister Naftali Bennett has called for an investigation into the allegations of sexual misconduct at Tel Aviv’s Thelma Yellin High School for the Arts.

Bennett said he has instructed the education ministry's director-general, Shmuel Abuav to conduct a "comprehensive inspection of the events at Thelma Yellin so we can generate lessons for the school and the education system as a whole." Artist Boaz Arad, 62, a teacher at the art's school was found dead outside his home in Tel Aviv on Friday in an apparent suicide.

It is believed that Arad took his life in response to a report released Thursday by the Mako news portal that he engaged in sexual relations with several of his underage high school students, while teaching painting at the school between 1983-2006.

“It is a tragedy that he committed suicide, but what many people don’t know is also what a tragedy it is for the women who were hurt [by him],” Orit Sulitzeanu, the director of the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.

“Many times we see at the crisis centers, we see the price of this – it can ruin women’s lives years later – and this nobody sees this except us,” she said.

You can read more about this at the link, and they even speak of a music conductor at the schools who committed homosexual rape. Truly disgusting, and a sad reminder that schools are not the safe places we wish they could be.
