This article is about Yair Shir Menajem, a 47-year-old Jerusalem resident who, on Monday, was charged in the Jerusalem District Court with "sodomizing and carrying out indecent acts on several minors over recent years." These offenses began occurring sometime between 1995 and 1996 when the suspect would visit his parents' home and began to sexually abuse an eight-year-old neighbor boy, and have continued for the 15 years since. The charge sheet on the suspect read that Menajem was accused of exploitation of young, vulnerable youths. Menajem denied all charges of which he was accused. As far as the eight-year-old boy, the Menajem knew that the boy's grandparents had recently passed away and that he was very emotionally attached to them, and he used that to exploit him immensely. Menajem told the boy that if he cooperated with him, he could make sure to bring his grandparents to him in his dreams. The boy asked Menajem why his grandparents hadn't yet come, and he promised the boy that this would happen soon. This incident was recorded at the suspect's indictment, along with many others which were described with extreme graphic details. Prosecutors stated that the boy has needed many years of therapy because of Menajem. "In 2001, Menajem attended a yeshiva for youths. Prosecutors said he forced oral sex on a teenager after luring him back to his home with a promise of curing him from astigmatism." Another incident in 2005, Menajem allegedly invited a 13-year-old boy to move in to his home after he fought with his parents. It never stated whether or not this move in actually occurred; during this time Menajem was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. From 2005 to 2007, Menajem had continued to sexually assault minors, many times. Overall, eight minors were allegedly assaulted by Menajem.
I am completely disgusted with people like Menajem. I think out of all the crimes possible to commit, sex crimes are the most revolting, let alone sex crimes against minors. I hope the judge on this case hates crimes like these as much as I do, because if she or he does, Menajem will be getting life in prison. I also don't understand how someone could be so disgusting as to do these kinds of things or even think about doing them. I feel so sorry for the eight little boys' lives that this man has ruined because of his own disgusting fetishes. How could someone trick innocent beings into doing something so awful? This kind of person has to have something seriously wrong with him or her. Doing an article on this man and this type of crimes seriously gave me the chills every time I thought about what I was reading. What is wrong with people these days?
