Teen beaten by father, uncle after telling them she was blackmailed

By Jack Khoury, Haaretz Correspondent

Acre police are investigating allegations that a 16-year-old girl was severely beaten by her father and uncle after she told them she was being extorted by classmates.

According to the girl's complaint, a fellow classmate threatened to circulate sexually provocative photos of the girl if she did not pay her. Over the next four months, the victim stole around NIS 40,000 from her family to make payments to the classmate according to police.

The girl told police that a month before, her uncle noticed he was missing a large sum of money, at which point the girl decided to tell her family about the extortion.

At this point, police believe the father and uncle began to beat the girl, locked her in the basement, gagged her mouth, cut her hair, and sprayed her with chemicals.

On Wednesday the girl issued a complaint to area police who arrested her father later in the day. Police also plan on arresting the victim's uncle and the girl who orchestrated the extortion.
