Eight years after the initial case, two women already involved in the matter filed new complaints and Golan was questioned again, particularly over suspicions that he had induced a person to engage in prostitution. In 2023, prosecutors again closed the investigation for insufficient evidence; in 2026, further inquiries were requested in connection with the complainants' appeals.

Golan's participation in the Eilat Women's Festival, scheduled for early 2025, was cancelled in late December 2024 following a strong public campaign and renewed attention to testimony linked to the "Games of Society" case.
