Israeli diplomat arrested on suspicion of pedophiliaFollowing undercover investigation, Israeli who works for Consulate in Atlanta arrested and charged with computer offences and exploitation of childrenYitzhak Benhorin
WASHINGTON– An Israeli diplomat, Yosef Sagiv, was arrested Friday in the American city of Atlanta on suspicion of computer related offences linked to pornography and the sexual exploitation of children.
Captain Steve Morris, of the Columbia District Police in Georgia, told Ynet that the arrestee was a worker in the Israeli Consulate. He was arrested upon leaving his home and transferred into custody at a distance from Atlanta.
Daniel Craig, the District Attorney of Augusta, in the state of Georgia, announced that Sagiv used the internet and email in order to persuade a child to carry out illegal acts such as sodomy and severe sexual abuse.
The investigation has been going on for a considerable time by the Sherriff's Department of the Columbia district in Georgia, as well as other government agencies such as the FBI. With that, the suspect was arrested only on Thursday after an indictment was approved. According to the decree, a search of the suspect's home was also carried out.
The Foreign Ministry said in response that they were aware of the episode and were looking into details. It was also said that the suspect holds a diplomatic license but is not an employee of the Foreign Ministry.
This is not the first time that the Foreign Ministry has had to deal with embarrassing episodes: Three years ago the Israeli Consul in Sao Paolo, Aryeh Sher, was arrested due to suspicions that his computer held pornographic material.

DOZENS OF ISRAELIS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE DISTRIBUTING PEDOPHILIC CONTENT OVER THE WORLD WIDE
European intelligence leads to arrest of Israeli pedophilesInterpol tip-off leads to arrest of four men from northern Israel accused of distributing pedophilic content online. Rise in reports of Israelis dealing in explicit material involving minors grew over past few weeks Sharon Roffe-Ofir
Dozens of Israelis across the country are distributing pedophilic content over the World Wide Web, so indicate reports coming from Germany and Spain via the international police organization Interpol.
These reports ultimately reached the Israeli Police Department’s Northern District Fraud Unit, who arrested four suspects in this internet pedophilia ring. The four were questioned, and quickly confessed to distributing the illicit material. “This is obviously a sick and unnatural phenomena, and whoever engages in such activities probably does so due to disturbing events in his or her past,” said Northern Fraud Unit Director, Superintendent Aharon Gal-Or.
Over the past few weeks there have been many reports of Israeli citizens distributing photos and movie of a sexual nature involving minors over the internet. “The system in place today is highly sophisticated. As soon as someone logs into the World Wide Web, a little flag pops up next to his user name indicating the country from where the illicit material is being sent,” noted Gal-Or. “That is how we can track down individuals who distribute this type of child pornography.”
Four suspects in this case were arrested Sunday after internet service providers divulged their names and addresses to police.
Two of the suspects, aged 34 and 40 respectively, are residents of Haifa. Another suspect is a 48-year-old Galilee resident, married and father to several children. A final suspect is a professional military man from the northern valley region.
“One of the suspects confessed that he was sexually abused as a child. I assume that whoever engages in such activities has a rather troubled past,” said Gal-Or. The four suspects will be arraigned Sunday.

PEDOPHILIA :ABRAHAM MONDROWITZ
Court okays extradition of haredi suspected of pedophilia Abraham Mondrowitz, 60, was arrested in Jerusalem in November for allegedly abusing dozens of children at his unlicensed private clinic at his Brooklyn home during the 80s Associated Press
An Israeli court on Sunday approved extradition to the US of an American Orthodox Jew wanted on suspicion of multiple sexual attacks two decades ago, the Justice Ministry said.
Abraham Mondrowitz, 60, a member of the Gur Hasidic Jewish sect, was arrested in Jerusalem in November for allegedly abusing dozens of children at his unlicensed private clinic at his Brooklyn, New York home during the 1980s. He fled to Israel in 1985 as police were investigating charges against him.
Israeli Justice Ministry spokesman Moshe Cohen said the Jerusalem District Court approved the extradition order, but Mondrowitz has the right to appeal. Court spokeswoman Tal Rosner said the state would make the final decision about whether to extradite Mondrowitz, who could appeal to the Israeli Supreme Court against Sunday's ruling.
Last September, the United States resubmitted an extradition request first made in 1985, months after Mondrowitz fled Brooklyn for Israel.
The renewed US request came after Israel and the United States amended their extradition treaty to include all crimes whose punishment is more than one year imprisonment, according to the Israeli state prosecutor's office. Before the change that took effect a year ago, the extradition treaty between Israel and the United States did not include sodomy.
