"I blew it out of proportion and made up a story that, in essence,
specifically in that place, did not happen," she said, sitting in the
dark as she spoke, her voice distorted to shield her identity. She said
she filed the false complaint as her way of “crying out for the
children" who can't speak out for themselves. "I didn't think it would
reach this level. I wanted to shock the system."
Kindergarten Supervisor Says She Made Up Child Rape Claim, Police Aren’t Sure She’s Telling The Truth

The kindergarten supervisor in the haredi city of Modi’in Illit who filed a complaint with the police about the alleged rape of a 5-year-old girl has recanted her story, reportedly telling Channel 2 that she made up the story.
"I blew it out of proportion and made up a story that, in essence, specifically in that place, did not happen," she said, sitting in the dark as she spoke, her voice distorted to shield her identity. She said she filed the false complaint as her way of “crying out for the children" who can't speak out for themselves. "I didn't think it would reach this level. I wanted to shock the system."
Police have flooded the haredi city of the past two weeks trying to identify and locate the victim and the rapist, but haredim have uniformly refused to cooperate with the investigation.
WThe kindergarten supervisor said that she did not tell the truth to police investigators because she was "very confused. I didn't know what to say. I feared for my life."
Police noted significant discrepancies in her stories along with the stonewalling of haredim in the area and have decided to continue their investigation into the possible child rape as a result.
"I hear and am exposed to so many incidents of sexual abuse,” the kindergarten supervisor said. I felt that I had to cry the cry of these young children [who have been raped and sexually abused].” She said she felt that she needed to go outside the haredi community to get help for the raped and sexually abused children because they not helped inside it. The situation was bad and getting worse, and she said that she felt that if she didn’t shock the world, the police and the social services now, the situation would never improve.
She claimed that she herself was raped when she was 16-years-old and never received proper treatment.
“Erased – my life is gone. I never knew who to turn to. It was many years ago. What should have been addressed wasn’t…[the haredi community, rabbis, etc.] did not cooperate as expected, as my parents had expected."
