A child psychologist was convicted of sexual offenses against minors

(haipo) - The district court in Haifa on Sunday (19/2/23) sentenced Idan Kosovsky, a 55-year-old child psychologist, to 54 months in prison, who was convicted of committing sexual offenses against minors.


According to the indictment filed against the psychologist, only part of which was allowed to be published, the convict served as an educational psychologist, in this framework he treated, among other things, minors in a private clinic in his home. In this framework, during the year 2019 he committed indecent acts on two minors whom he cared for.

As you may recall, in January 2022, the psychologist Kosovsky was convicted of sexual offenses against two minors he treated, which also included contact with their private parts. This is a respected educational psychologist, who was considered very sought after in his field and worked in schools including in Haifa.

Today, as stated in the reading of the sentence, the panel of judges Avi Levy, Eran Cotton and Eyal Baumgart determined that he should be sentenced to 55 months of actual imprisonment, 12 months of probation for three years, or he would commit a felony sex offense. 6 months of probation, for three years, unless Bel commits a misdemeanor sex offense, and compensation in the amount of 150,000 shekels for minor A and 50,000 shekels for minor B.

In the sentence, the judges stated:
"We have before us offenses of the most serious type, sexual offenses against two minors committed by the accused, who was then about 50 years old, while he was responsible for them and was entrusted with taking care of their physical and mental well-being. The truth can be said, that the acts committed on the bodies of the minors are not of a high seriousness standard."

The defendant's attorney, Adv. Tami Ullman, told Lahi Pa: "We will study the sentence. I will meet with the client next week and then we will decide on the continuation of our legal steps."
