The judge asks Aziel to tell something about himself, she wants an image of the man's current life. The new approach causes a slight buzz through the room, but when the young woman focuses her stern gaze on the room, everyone is silent. Her authority is unquestionable.
“Your honor, I am an engaged man, my wife is pregnant with twins and we have another five-year-old son. This case is so distasteful, puts pressure on my wife's well-being," Aziel begins. “I had sex with this young woman against my will, I was drugged and raped and now she says she is pregnant by me. This is not what I wanted, my plan was to have a closed family with my wife and children. And now I am forced to rearrange my plans. But I accept my responsibility if the child is mine, it is innocent in all this," he ends emotionally.
The judge looks at him unfazed.
