Litzman admitted to the charges as part of the plea bargain in the case of Malka Leifer, a suspected sexual predator who was the center of lengthy extradition proceedings at the request of Australia, where she allegedly committed the crimes.
Litzman will be sentenced on July 14, the court decided, at which time the court will rule on whether to uphold the terms of the bargain, which would see Litzman serve probation and pay a fine of 3,000 shekels ($890).
The plea bargain also required Litzman to resign from the Knesset, which he did this week.
