Eyal Golan
Israel Police are currently looking for one of the underage
girls who filed a complaint against famous singer Eyal Golan and his father,
for allegedly having sex with minors.
The girl's family informed police she has not arrived at
school or returned home in the last 48-hours. Meanwhile, Golan continued to
undergo police questioning Friday morning.
The missing girl, 15.5, gave the police her version of the
events about a week and a half ago. She told the police she had sexual
relations with Danny Biton, Eyal Golan's father, who is suspected of arranging
the sexual encounters for his son – as well as partaking in them himself. Both
men vehemently deny the accusations.
Golan continued to undergo a police questioning on Friday
with the police attempting to ascertain whether he knew the girls were
underage. Golan was also confronted with a media personality whose name has not
been cleared for publication, but is also involved.
Meanwhile, the story which has been topping Israeli
headlines over recent days has also managed to garner some international
attention.
The Irish Times wrote about the "Israeli star detained
on suspicion of statutory rape of underage girls and soft drug use with
minors."
Acording to the paper, Golan is "Israel’s most popular
rock singer" and is a "singer of Yemenite and Moroccan Jewish origins
who sings in the Mizrahi eastern style."
"Israeli Pop Star at Center of Sex Scandal,"
screamed the Hollywood Reporter's headline
"Reportedly, Golan was at the center of a ring that
included his father, manager and other associates who scouted teenage female
fans during concerts for post-show hotel room excursions, which included sex
and drug consumption," the paper summarized.
Regarding the gag-order that had Israeli media twisting and
turning not to mention Golan directly but still offer extensive coverage of
what has been called “the famous singer and the underage sex affair,” the
Reporter wrote, "Word of the scandal already broke in Israel almost a week
ago, but came with a gag order on Golan’s name. However, his identity was known
to most Israelis almost instantly, whether through a simple process of
elimination or online word of mouth."
