Prosecutors on Thursday indicted two Netanya brothers, 21 and 20, for allegedly raping their younger sister, 15, in a number of instances spanning a period of six years.

According to the indictment, which was submitted to Tel Aviv District Court, the brothers resided with their mother in Netanya while their sister lived in various shelters and orphanages, visiting her family periodically.

The older brother is alleged to have molested his younger sister, rubbing his body against hers and attempting to stroke her during one of her visits in 2001. In addition, the brother is alleged to have raped her during the last Passover holiday at their grandmother's home in Netanya.
