He also limited her internet use and forced her to cut ties with her friends, threatening to beat her to death if she disobeyed him. Later he became increasingly violent, at least once slamming her head against the wall.
When the girl told the man she wanted to leave him, he threatened to kill her. After she became pregnant by him in February 2010, he demanded she abort the pregnancy before attacking her and jumping on her stomach. Shortly after the incident, she underwent a hospital abortion.
The man is also accused of recording raping the girl on his cell phone and later forcing the girl to watch the footage.
Prosecutors asked the court to refuse bail.

It should be of no consequence, what his upbringing was. Now, he is clearly a monster, that should be kept locked up in a cage away from normal human beings. She is lucky to escape with her life.
he should not be out of jail ever
where the girl's parents/guardians were during all this time?
IDF candidate!
No, my ignorant and righteous friend, you are wrong - your beloved Arabs don't serve in the IDF. He is an Arab, as one can judge from the the name of his village. But in "racist" Israel it is impossible to write in a news item: "An Israeli Arab raped etc..."
They can even become ministers....
The left has created a moral vaccum by stripping the society of any Jewish Moral values and assuming a Western secular mode. Lack of Torah if I may say.
Or is it just that their communities often try to cover the crimes up?
Today's excuses for every criminal and his criminal acts is, "I was traumatized as a child". Its time society recognizes the fact that evil exists and needs to be punished. It is very sad to see how our society is becoming more and more tolerant toward crime and terror instead of protecting the victims, our society protect the criminals and terrorists rights.
The slow de-gradation of our home land is starting
I'm not sure that one unpleasant perpetrator of domestic abuse somehow reflects that state of the nation. I've plenty of things to critise Israel over, but I don't think they are reflected in the actions of one nasty individual.
Domestic violence is a crime perpetrated in every country and city in the world.
You Israelis hold yourselves up to be so much better than the rest of the world.
No matter what his background is , this monster should be put behind bars for good . In the Islamic world such monsters are executed .
Ain't the Islam a menace to world? Hypocrites...
In the islamic world 7 year old boys are hung...
No thanks
This is what religious fanatics usually do. Get your story straight.
why do we have to hear about this. how about some really good news for today. hope this insane cruel man gets what is due to him
We are not living in a perfect world. If you dont want to hear about those things...dont read the newpaper.
We read that such violent monsters were usually victims themselves and lived in ruined families. Regardless of the source of this this unbelievable cruelty he's too dangerous to society and must be locked up and go through treatments. A prison is more than just a way to keep danger away from society but also to correct criminal behavior.
