A senior Israeli official accused of child sex crimes in the United States has failed to appear for a scheduled court hearing in his case, weeks after he returned to Israel, prompting concerns that he may have fled to avoid facing trial.

The Israeli official was arrested on August 6, but the incident was not made public until more than a week later, when the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced an undercover operation “targeting child sex predators”.

Alexandrovich was released and allowed to return to Israel after being charged with luring or attempting to lure a child online to engage in sexual conduct.

    There have been documentaries about this for years now, on YouTube and other places. Talking about how pedophiles can easily claim asylum (more or less) in Israel after being convicted of a crime.

    senior Israeli official

    failed to appear

    after he returned to Israel

    That’s the least surprising turn of events since the last time Stephen Miller said something extremely racist.

    Do you guys think Jeffrey Epstein was the first or the only guy using videos of United States politicians engaging in pedophelia to blackmail them for Israel?

    Do you think Tom Artiom Alexandrovich knew Epstein, or his associates/handlers in Israel?
