Most Israelis have no clear understanding of what the president did or did not do. This may even still apply to those deciding on his indictment. But almost all of us have already formed an opinion.
While the accusations are repulsive, even more so is the release by the police and other agencies of what may or may not be going on - a cheap way of currying favor with the media or besmirching a man's character while a difficult and sensitive issue is being investigated.
If the accusations are valid, a trial will reveal all the squalid details. If not, they aren't our concern. Some of us here have learned that keeping one's mouth shut is a virtue; clearly many in the government have not.
While the media may publish them, the stories originate with agencies whose duty is to protect the privacy of those they deal with. They have failed miserably. They need to be investigated as well - without leaks
