Five additional suspects were arrested on suspicion of committing serious sexual offenses on Sunday, Israel Police confirmed.
The five, all residents of Bnei Brak, were arrested following an investigation by a special investigation team of Israel Police's Dan District, the police added.
The head of the Shomrim community security patrol in Bnei Brak, Chaim Rotter, 36, was named on Thursday as the suspect in dozens of acts of sexual assault and rape of adults and minors over the last decade or so, upending the ultra-Orthodox (haredi) community and the country at large.
Two of the five additional suspects were members of Rotter's family, KAN News reported.
Since the announcement of Rotter's arrest broke on Wednesday, dozens of testimonies were publicized in the media, further substantiating the horrors that dozens allegedly experienced at his hands.
The Israel Police put out a public call on Thursday for potential victims or anyone who has knowledge of the matter to call or message via WhatsApp the number 050-506-5976, or to come to the Ramat Gan police station.
The investigation into the case is ongoing, police noted.
