Japanese-Israeli lawyer accused her ex of gouging her eyes. She invented the whole thing.

She’s Japanese-born, Israeli-raised, a lawyer by trade, and at the center of one of the most bizarre and explosive domestic abuse trials in recent memory. Meet Shira Prion, the woman who claimed her husband tried to gouge her eyes out with his fingers.

Yes, you read that right. In a case that stunned both legal circles and public opinion, Shira - an attorney with expertise in Japanese-Israeli contracts - filed multiple police complaints against her then-husband, Rafael Prion, accusing him of brutal violence, including:

Sounds like legal thriller - except none of it was true.

The court found that there was zero physical evidence, no eyewitnesses, and no corroboration beyond Shira’s word. Not even redness in her eyes after the supposed gouging.

To make matters worse, Shira still walked away with 400 shekels in state-funded witness fees, despite knowingly giving false testimony.

Rafael Prion, 50, is no criminal. He’s a sound healing therapist, artist, sculptor, and a known figure in Israel’s alternative wellness scene—especially at the Midburn desert festival, where he’s a mainstay.

Prion works at Weiss Porat Law Firm, specializing in Japanese business contracts.

Prosecutor Chen Nachmani filed the entire case based on Shira’s story and hearsay from friends who weren’t present. Not a single piece of independent evidence was ever presented. Legal analysts now warn: cases like this erode trust, hurt real abuse victims, and expose how easily false complaints can destroy lives.
