Cyprus Police Aid in US Man's Conviction for Child Sexual Abuse

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. The case began in 2020 when the Cybercrime Unit received information about the suspect's activities. The investigation revealed that the man resided in the US and had a long-standing history of abuse against a large number of underage victims in various states. US authorities, with the assistance of the Cyprus Police, were able to identify and locate more victims, aged 13-17. The close cooperation between the Cyprus Police and the FBI New York was crucial for the successful outcome of the case. The 53-year-old was arrested and sentenced to 12 years in prison without the possibility of early release on January 29, 2026. This case highlights the importance of international cooperation in tackling cross-border crime and protecting children from sexual abuse. The Cyprus Police is committed to the safety and protection of children and will continue to cooperate with international authorities to ensure justice is served.
