Biography


Moshe Ivgy was born in Casablanca, Morocco, to a Moroccan Jewish family.[2] He was married to actress Irit Sheleg.[3] Their daughter Dana Ivgy is also an actress.[4] After divorcing Irit, he married Oreet, with whom he has two children, Ella and Lily.[5]

Ivgy experimented with Scientology and spent some six months studying its teachings. He abandoned it, stating "it is an insane business... Those at the top earn billions and he (the average member) is destitute."[6]

Controversy


In February 2016, the Israeli media reported that Ivgy was accused by several women of sexual harassment.[8]

In May 2018, Ivgy was indicted in Haifa Magistrates Court on charges of sexual harassment and indecent acts against four women.

Three of the four accusers are actresses who worked with Ivgy on film-sets and in the theater. The fourth woman had no prior acquaintance with Ivgy. He approached her in a falafel shop and made unsolicited sexually explicit comments to her.[9][10]

In January 2020, Ivgy was convicted of indecent assault against four women but acquitted of more serious charges. His sentence, involving a fine and six months' community service, was considered by feminist groups as "lenient towards a serial offender."[11]

He was sentenced to 6 months of community service, 6 months of probation, and compensation to the complainant in the amount of NIS 10,000.[12]

On July 12, 2021, a Haifa Magistrate court sentenced Ivgy to 11 months for indecent assault.[13]

He was released from prison on March 14, 2022.[14]
