Israeli Cybersecurity Official Skips US Court on Child Sex Charges
Share this @internewscast.com

Senior Israeli cybersecurity official, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, failed to appear in a Nevada court for his arraignment on charges of luring a child for sexual conduct, raising alarms that he may evade justice after fleeing to Israel.

Significance: This situation highlights significant gaps in the US legal framework swayed by robust US-Israel ties, allowing suspects like Alexandrovich to evade justice. It also reveals how major media platforms, such as CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and Washington Post, remain silent on the issue, potentially protecting influential partners while eroding trust in both the justice system and media integrity.

Current developments: Representing Alexandrovich, attorney David Chesnoff contended that his client was instructed to skip the court appearance. However, Judge Barbara Schifalacqua rejected this claim, mandating court presence for individuals out on bond.

  • The judge ordered a remote appearance for September 3, warning of possible restrictions like no contact with minors or social media use.
  • Prosecutors denied any deal to waive appearances, with the court affirming no such authority exists.
  • Acting US Attorney Sigal Chattah blamed local officials for not seizing his passport, allowing his escape.

Recent events: Alexandrovich was apprehended on August 6 during a Las Vegas child predator operation, subsequently released on a $10,000 bail without restrictions, and soon after, returned to Israel. According to a police document first divulged on the Breaking Points podcast, authorities claim Alexandrovich engaged in sexual conversations via two online and texting platforms with an undercover agent posing as a 15-year-old girl.

The Netanyahu administration initially refuted the arrest and belittled the accusations. Local DA Steve Wolfson described the release as “standard,” but experts, such as criminal defense lawyer Richard Davies, found it “questionable” considering the crime’s seriousness.

Davies commented, “If it were the average person, they’d appear before the justice of the peace within a day. Typically, bail conditions set by the justice of the peace would include a GPS monitor, movement limitations, and a travel restriction out of the state.”

“So allowing this person to not only leave without a tracking device or GPS monitor, but also migrate out of the state and country, is extremely rare and questionable.”

This unusual leniency has sparked intense scrutiny, as explored in depth on Breaking Points’ latest episode:

Breaking Points dives into the Tom Artiom Alexandrovich scandal: Israeli cyber official skips U.S. court after child predator arrest, exposing justice flaws, Netanyahu lies, and MSM silence. Saagar & Krystal unpack extradition issues and corruption.

Breaking Points Update: On Breaking Points, Saagar Enjeti detailed the courtroom showdown where Alexandrovich’s high-powered lawyer, David Chesnoff—with pro-Israel ties and donations to the state attorney—tried to excuse his absence, but the judge insisted, “I don’t care what kind of agreement you have… I’m the judge overseeing this case.”

Saagar speculated on a “corrupt bargain” leading to probation, noting the weak US-Israel extradition treaty that allows cases to drag on for years, as seen in past pedophile extraditions taking up to 11 years without massive diplomatic pressure.

He questioned who’s funding Chesnoff and highlighted Alexandrovich’s role in creating Israel’s cyber Iron Dome, with access to sensitive info, including meetings with the NSA.

Co-host Krystal Ball pointed out Netanyahu’s outright lies about the arrest, downplaying it as “some issue” despite the FBI sting context, and mainstream media’s avoidance likely due to the story’s explosive implications.

Between the lines: The lenient handling underscores how geopolitical ties under Netanyahu’s corrupt leadership enable evasion of accountability, mirroring broader patterns of Israeli impunity in international scandals while the US turns a blind eye.

Adding to the outrage, major U.S. media outlets like CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and the Washington Post have remained eerily silent on Alexandrovich’s case, not running a single headline with his name—even as Reuters and Al Jazeera confirm the details—suggesting complicity, as activist Shaun King argues:

“That silence is not neutral. It’s not oversight. It is complicity. Because covering this story honestly would mean admitting that Israel’s top cyber official was caught in a U.S. child predator sting, he skipped his bail hearing, he is hiding in Israel, facing trial by Zoom, and he received preferential treatment no other foreign official would get. That’s not just newsworthy. That’s explosive.”

This MSM blackout on the latest developments only amplifies suspicions of a coordinated effort to shield powerful allies from scrutiny.

What they’re saying:

  • “Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a senior Israeli cybersecurity official arrested in a child predator sting, posted $10,000 bail and was ‘allowed to flee to Israel,’ then failed to appear for his arraignment in Henderson, Nevada,” AF Post reported, highlighting the judge’s rejection of the absence.
  • “UPDATE: Israeli jewish pedophile Tom Alexandrovich DID NOT SHOW for his arraignment hearing today… The whole thing is looking like a sham,” John Christ tweeted, criticizing the prosecutor’s unauthorized deals.
  • “Out of 535 Congress members, only Reps. Greene and Massie condemned Israeli cyber official Tom Artiom Alexandrovich… arrested in a Nevada child predator sting and ‘allowed to flee to Israel’ on a $10,000 bond,” AF Post noted, pointing to congressional silence.

The bottom line: As Alexandrovich hides in Israel, where extradition is unlikely, and mainstream media blackouts stifle public awareness, true justice seems increasingly out of reach—unless the US demands his return from Netanyahu’s regime, breaking the cycle of favoritism and complicity that protects the powerful at the expense of victims and erodes faith in global accountability.
