Dr Guy Rofe, sexually assaulted 20 women
Two Israeli women filed complaints on Wednesday to Israel
Police against Israeli gynecologist Dr. Guy Rofe for committing sexual assault
while treating the women, Ynet reported.
In total, 20 women have come forward with allegations of
sexual assault against Rofe, with eight of them filing an official complaint to
the Health Ministry.
One of the complaints filed to the Health Ministry included
allegations of rape.
According to one of Rofe's patients, who shared her story
under the alias of Abigail, the gynecologist sexually harassed her through text
messages and social media, in addition to sexually abusing her during
treatment.
Abigail, who was an IDF soldier at the time, claimed she
went to Rofe with a medical problem and the doctor subsequently told her she
had a "problem with sexual stimulation" and proceeded to sexually
assault her.
Abigail then told Ynet Rofe allegedly asked her if "she
wants him to make her wet with his mouth."
Rofe, who was employed at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv, was
suspended from the hospital following the report of the allegations.
"The hospital had already begun the process of
terminating the employment of Dr. Rofe when they were merely rumors and prior
to any complaint being received," the hospital said in a statement to
Ynet.
Rofe's attorney Zion Amir also released a statement
following the allegations being made public, stating them to be a
"witchhunt conducted against my client, as suspicions and allegations are
being leveled at him without being thoroughly examined."
"It is clear that these unfounded allegations cannot be
taken seriously," the statement reads.
