'My Silence Didn't Protect Me': Released Hostage Accuses Israeli Trainer of Sexual Assault Based on the complaint Mia Schem filed with the police, the trainer was arrested in late March, around the time rumors began circulating on social media about a released hostage being sexually assaulted Still recovering from the gunshot wound, which was not properly treated in captivity, Shem described the alleged rape as re-traumatizing. "This was my biggest fear my whole life, before captivity, during captivity," she said. "And it happened to me after captivity, in my safest place." According to Shem, she met the trainer, reportedly a well-known fitness influencer from Tel Aviv with many celebrity clients, at a Purim party. After three sessions with him, she says he proposed introducing her to a Hollywood film producer, who he said was interested in possibly turning her story into a movie. According to Schem's account, after that first meeting never materialized – the supposed producer failed to show up at a hotel lobby – a second meeting was scheduled, this time at Schem's home. Schem recounted that on the day of the meeting, the trainer arrived two hours late. When he arrived, he told Schem's best friend, who was at her apartment, to leave, citing the sensitivity of the meeting with the supposed producer. Schem said her memory from that point on is fuzzy. "My body remembers; it feels everything," she described in the interview. But I don't know what happened." "It took me three days to connect the physical sensations to consciousness," she added. In the days following, family and friends, including the friend who was asked to leave Schem's house, noticed she wasn't acting like herself and began to worry. Her mother, Keren, who also spoke to Channel 12 described her daughter as "completely broken." "My daughter came back from captivity in a very difficult physical and mental condition," Keren related. "And even then, she wasn't like this. Now I was seeing a kind of distress that really scared me." Meanwhile, Schem was starting to have flashes of what happened that afternoon: the trainer entering her room while she was undressed and a second figure present in the apartment. A friend suggested she may have been drugged. Schem said she went to the police, who referred her to a specialized center for sexual assault victims. According to the report, a medical examination revealed signs of sexual intercourse. Schem also said she had unexplained physical marks on her body after the alleged attack. Haaretz
