Cheryl Ben Tov (Hebrew: שריל בנטוב), born Cheryl Hanin in 1960, is an American real estate agent and former Israeli Mossad agent who became well known in 1986 when, under the name "Cindy", she persuaded former Israeli nuclear technician Mordechai Vanunu to go with her to Rome, in the context of an extraordinary rendition with the purpose of ultimately taking him to Israel.
[1] Vanunu faced a secret trial and was sentenced to 18 years in prison, spending nearly 12 of them in solitary confinement.
In 1985, she married Ofer Ben Tov, himself an Israeli intelligence officer, and at some point before 1986 was recruited and trained by the Mossad.
Calling herself Cheryl Hanin, she now works as a real estate agent in Northeast Orlando, Florida, with her husband and their two daughters.
[3] In 1988, newspaper journalists traced her to her home in Netanya, Israel, where she still owns a villa that she rents out.
