9 months of community service, a NIS 20,000 fine and a year and a half suspended for 3 years for a driving teacher who sexually harassed a high school student who studied with him.
The court approved today (Sun. 15/5/22) the plea deal between the driving instructor Yosef Baur, who 4 years ago, according to his admission, harassed a female student. "Today he is 74 years old," the student's mother told Lahi Fe today, "the court decided to make it easier for him because of his age and health condition. He received 9 months of community service, a NIS 20,000 fine and a year and a half on probation for 3 years. We are very pleased that he confessed, it was very significant for us."
"We hoped he would be banned from teaching"
"It is very important to me that girls beware of driving instructors. My daughter very much hoped that the result would be that the court would determine that he would no longer learn to drive and would not endanger other girls, but that did not happen."
I wish there was a law to install a camera in driving lessons
"We would very much like one of the members of the Knesset to pass a law that in driving lessons there would be a camera that would record what happens in the lesson," adds the mother, "We innocently sent my daughter at the age of 17 to learn to drive with a 70-year-old teacher. Could I imagine that he would hurt her and harass her?"
As a reminder, in May 2019, the Haifa District Attorney's Office submitted to the city's Magistrate's Court an indictment against Yosef Baor, a driving instructor and resident of the Haifa area, for committing indecent acts on several occasions with his minor student during driving lessons. In November 2021, the court ruled that it is permissible to publish the name of the accused.
"appropriate to the circumstances"
The driving instructor was represented by lawyers Tami Ullman and Shaf Ullman. Attorney Tami Ullman told a Hai Fe reporter today that the sentence fits the circumstances of the case.
How will the students learn to operate the gear stick?
The old man is not ashamed, he got the piss to his head, post his comment so we know not to send the girls to him
Shame why do you teach driving???
Shame, why should he learn to drive?
If they didn't ban him from teaching driving, it's a joke from the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Indeed the one who admitted, relieves the harassed.
What about an apology, sorrow or understanding that the act is wrong?
A camera is indeed required in any vehicle for learning to drive or any other public vehicle.
