One of Israel's most high-profile authors has been found guilty of plagiarising another writer's work.

Naomi Ragen, who is known for her support for women's rights, will now have to compensate Sarah Shapiro.

Ms Ragen, the author of books including The Sacrifice of Tamar and The Tenth Song, was sued over the content of her novel Sotah.

The book, published in 1992, is a story about the implications of adultery in the Charedi community.
