Seeking to deny numerous accusations against him of rape and other sexual abuse, the co-founder and chairman of the ZAKA volunteer emergency response group arrived uninvited at the police serious crimes headquarters Monday, and was turned away.
Officers at the Lahav 433 serious crime unit, who on Sunday opened an investigation into claims against Yehuda Meshi-Zahav going back decades, refused to take testimony from him, as he had yet to be summoned for questioning.
Meshi-Zahav was accused Thursday of sexual assault, rape, and abuse by six people in a report by the Haaretz daily, which said there are likely many more cases.
