Major S a female career officer in the IDF petitioned the High Court of Justice today Monday to instruct the General Military Attorney Major General Menahem Finkelstein to ask that Lieutenant Colonel Eli Buhbut charged with raping S be detained until the proceedings are concluded
This is meant to prevent a situation in which a man accused of rape and indecent assault walks freely in an army unit and does whatever he pleases
The indictment against Buhbut was served last week and it alleges crimes of rape indecent assault and inadequate behavior
According to the petition filed with the help of the VIZO movement through the lawyer Shlomo Zipori the indictment was served only after a long and arduous struggle which S had to fight in the face of the General Military Attorneys indifference to the mental damage caused to her both from Buhbuts actions and from the slow and negligent conduct of the investigation
According to the indictment Buhbut pushed S forcefully onto his office table took off her trousers and underwear and inserted his penis into her 
S who was weak due to illness tried to push the accused away and asked him to leave her alone but despite her recurring requests Buhbut continued what he was doing
Despite this when S first complained about the rape the GMA refused to start an investigation claiming there was no evidence against Buhbut
He even threatened to use legal measures against her for filing a false accusation
S the petition claimed made her own investigation sent the trousers she wore at the time of the rape for testing at the Forensic Medicine Institute in Abu Kabir and indeed a DNA sample was taken from the semen found on them
S has been serving in IDF for 16 years in different staff role in the Logistics Corps and was even awarded the Chief of Staff Excellence Award and the Major General Excellence Award 
Ever since she was raped a year and a half ago she has been suffering from trauma and has been in a difficult mental condition and she is now undergoing final retirement processes from IDF
