Prominent Religious Zionism figure Rabbi Mordechai Elon, who was charged last November with committing indecent acts against two minors, filed his response to the indictment with the Jerusalem Magistrate’s Court on Sunday.
In his response, Elon denied the charges and claimed that if he indeed met the complainants, it was not with the purpose of deriving sexual satisfaction.
The indictment claimed Elon exploited his position as an educator and molested two male teenagers on various occasions in 2003 and 2005.
