Editor's note (03/04/08): The case against Adam Shuv has been closed due to lack of guilt.

The Tel Aviv District Police on Thursday announced that journalist Adam Shuv would be released to house arrest, the day after he was arrested on charges of sexual crimes.

Shuv, who is suspected of having unlawful sex with one minor and of committing indecent acts with another, will remain under house arrest for five days.

According to the police decision, Shuv is to be released on bail and must refrain from any contact with the complainants for 30 days.

Police arrested Shuv on Tuesday night, two weeks after one of his alleged underage victims complained to the police that he had raped her.

The court decided on Wednesday to extend his remand by three days in order to complete questioning, but police decided on Thursday to continue the investigation without keeping the suspect in custody.

Shuv worked until recently as the editor of TheMarker Cafe, the social networking site of Haaretz' sister publication, TheMarker.

A spokesman for Tel Aviv District Police said the minor's complaints had been examined over the past two weeks, leading police to decide that an investigation was justified. The spokesman added that another underaged girl had also accused Shuv of committing indecent acts.
