A 53-year-old rabbi from central Israel was arrested on Sunday for sexual assault and statutory rape of a girl since she was 12-year-old.

The affair was discovered after the girl, now 17, complained to social services about the rabbi's behavior.

The rabbi admitted to the crimes during interrogation but argued there was nothing wrong with his actions; his remand was extended on Monday for two days.
