Elior Chen
The prosecution intends to charge Chen, who allegedly instructed his followers to abuse their children, with multiple counts of abuse and assault of a helpless minor.
Upon Chen's extradition to Israel from Brazil two weeks ago, the prosecution said it was planning to include attempted murder charges in his indictment, but a legal source told Ynet prosecutors were unable to substantiate the allegation.
The source added that should further evidence come to light and support such a charge, the prosecution will amend the indictment.
Such a move would also require Brazil's consent, since it was not included in the original extradition motion.
Chen has been questioned by Jerusalem Police investigators several times but has been exercising his right to remain silent.
Attorney Ariel Atari, representing Chen, told Ynet that his client "welcomes the indictment, since it marks the beginning of the trail – he will finally be able to refute all these charges in a court of law."

I hate that he calls himself rabbi. I bet he's a total am haarets. Either way i look forward to this trial. The truth will come out and justice will be served. Hopefully with no mercy just as he had no mercy.

It can be very difficult, especially when the media decides a person's guilt before they go to trial, but we are obliged to dan lechaf zchus. It is not easy when things look as bad as they do here, but it is a good opportunity to really try our best not to think the worst until there is irrefutable undeniable proof - ie, a confession.
