A second woman has testified against Likud MK Hanoch Milwidsky for allegedly committing indecent acts, Channel 13 reported on Saturday evening.
She provided police with testimony expected to strengthen the initial allegation that Milwidsky committed indecent acts against her in 2014.
Milwidsky had already been investigated over the weekend on suspicion of sexual assault and witness tampering, but has rejected the accusations against him.
He was summoned for questioning at Lahav 433 after explicit images of him were distributed to members of the Knesset from an anonymous email address.
The National Fraud Investigation Unit then summoned Milwidsky and two other individuals on suspicion of obstructing justice and sexual misconduct, though the three were later released.
The investigation began when a content consultant complained that Milwidsky reportedly assaulted her during a meeting in 2014, but the investigation came to a standstill when the complainant refused to cooperate with police after giving her initial testimony.
Witness tampering incident
According to N12, Milwidsky reportedly told a woman to give false testimony after she claimed she had been sexually assaulted by Michael Laitman, the leader of the Bnei Baruch kabbalah association, which Milwidsky is linked to.
When questioned about the assault last year, the woman reportedly told police Milwidsky raped her.
While police initially requested Milwidsky report for questioning last year, the prosecution only granted approval this week. The MK was reportedly summoned quickly due to 'sensitive timing, as he was supposed to run in elections for the chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee.
Prior to his arrival on Friday, Milwidsky was told he would only be questioned regarding the witness tampering case, but was reportedly 'surprised' to discover he was also being questioned on suspicion of rape.
