US denies intervening in case of Israeli official accused of Nevada sex crime
The US State Department said the American government played no role in the release of an #Israeli official charged with soliciting sex electronically from a minor.
Tom Artiom Alexandrovich was charged following an undercover operation “targeting child sex predators,” the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said.
Israeli media said #Alexandrovich, who they described as a senior department head in Israel’s National Cyber Directorate, was released by US authorities and is back in #Israel.
At the time, Las Vegas was hosting #BlackHat, one of the #cybersecurity industry’s most prominent conferences.
Alexandrovich “did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge pending a court date. Any claims that the US government intervened are false,” the State Department said.
