53-Year-Old Convicted of Child Sexual Abuse in US with Cypriot Contribution

A 53-year-old man in the US has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for child sexual abuse via the internet, with a decisive contribution from the Cyprus Police in his identification and arrest. The investigation began in 2020 when the Cybercrime Unit received information about the perpetrator's actions. It was determined that the 53-year-old resided in the US and had committed the crime against numerous children in various states. US authorities, with the assistance of the Cyprus Police, managed to locate and identify more victims, aged 13-17. The 53-year-old was arrested and sentenced to 12 years in prison without the right to early release by a US court on January 29, 2026.
