Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, an Israeli cybersecurity official whom police caught in an August child sex sting in Las Vegas, pleaded not guilty on Monday via remote video, an NBC affiliate in the city reported.

The U.S. State Department has said that he did not claim diplomatic immunity. Alexandrovich is reportedly on leave from the Israel National Cyber Directorate.

The official was allowed to return to Israel after he was arrested in Nevada. Per the indictment, he “willingly, unlawfully and knowingly” used communication tools to talk to an undercover agent whom he believed to be younger than 16 to “solicit, persuade or lure” the individual into sexual conduct.

Alexandrovich reportedly told police that he thought the person was older than 18.

The man sent “several antisemitic and sexually derogatory letters” to the female prosecutor who tried his case, according to the ruling.
“Real peace requires neutral humanitarian agencies, not those serving as an arm of Hamas,” the Israeli envoy to the global body in Geneva, told JNS.
The paper is “just casually whitewashing what ‘J-pilled’ actually means,” Jerry Dunleavy of ‘Just the News’ stated. “ Hint: ‘Israel’ doesn’t start with ‘J.’”
“This wasn’t about what these kids can’t do—it was about what they can do when they’re included,” said Daniel Zeltser, chief operating officer of the community center.
