No one told you because MSM is HANDS OFF. A multi-agency operation targeting child sex predators recently led to the arrest of eight individuals in Las Vegas. The arrests occurred on August 6, 2025, the result of a joint sting conducted by the Nevada Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, along with:
FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department
Federal Bureau of Investigation
North Las Vegas Police Department
Henderson Police Department
Homeland Security Investigations
Nevada Attorney General’s office
Among those caught: Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a senior Israeli cybersecurity official working directly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Alexandrovich was formally charged in Nevada with attempting to lure a minor online for sex. He was booked on August 6, posted bail the following day, and astonishingly, was permitted to return to Israel on August 8. The public announcement of the arrests did not come until August 15 — more than a week later. Why the delay? Who signed off on this?
No one has made the connection to the Trump administration except the huge staff (1) at HotButtons. Alexandrovich‘s attorney, David Z. Chesnoff, was appointed by Trump on June 24, 2025 as a Homeland Security Advisory Council member. Were you not wondering how Alexandrovich got this noted Nevada attorney so fast? American Bar Association indicates there are 6,084 lawyers in Las Vegas. That number is significant if you consider that in 2021, there were 8,435 actively licensed lawyers in the entire State of Nevada. Who paid the retainer? Follow the money! Congressional Oversight, where are you?
The Media Blackout
Despite the shocking nature of the arrest, major U.S. outlets — CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post — have not run a single headline naming Alexandrovich. Search their archives, and you find nothing. Silence.
The absence of media coverage and political outcry — especially from Democrats, who could easily weaponize this scandal against Donald Trump — is deafening. Even Fox News has steered clear. Only a handful of figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie have publicly commented.
Timeline of Events
Henderson Declaration of Arrest No. 25-14595. Arrest was at 7:19 pm, August 6, 2025.
Aug 2–7: Alexandrovich attends the Black Hat cybersecurity conference at Mandalay Bay.
Aug 6: Arrested in Henderson, Nevada, during a predator sting. Charged with cyber-luring a child. His interrogation ended at 2031 hours (8:31 pm) on August 6.
Aug 7: Released on a $10,000 surety bond before even appearing before a judge.
Aug 8–9: Boards a flight out of Las Vegas, returning to Israel through JFK.
Aug 15: Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department finally issues a press release.
Aug 27: Alexandrovich skips his scheduled arraignment. His lawyer claims a “deal” with the DA allowed him to avoid appearing in person.
Sep 3 (scheduled): Judge orders him to appear remotely after rejecting the DA’s supposedly legal agreement.
The interrogation concluded at 8:31pm on August 6, 2025.
A Nevada judge made clear that no such deal existed, and that the DA lacked authority to excuse Alexandrovich from appearing. Yet, by then, the Israeli official was safely back in Tel Aviv.
The Trump–Chesnoff Connection
Here’s where it gets explosive. Alexandrovich’s defense attorney is David Chesnoff, one of Las Vegas’s most prominent lawyers. Just 43 days before Alexandrovich’s arrest, on June 24, 2025, President Donald Trump appointed Chesnoff to the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) — a federal advisory board tasked with shaping national security policy. One of their last published papers was on child sex traffickers. Notably, Chesoff’s name does not appear in the news until August 16, 2025. I have not yet surfaced the date he was either “hired” by Alexandrovich or “appointed” by the administration or Israel.
Press Release
That means:
June 24, 2025 → Trump names Chesnoff to Homeland Security Advisory Council.
July 2, 2025 → HSAC holds its first meeting under Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.
Aug 6, 2025 → Chesnoff represents an Israeli cyber official accused of soliciting a child for sex.
The overlap is staggering. A man Trump appointed to advise Trump on homeland security is simultaneously defending a senior Israeli official charged in a U.S. child exploitation sting. This is not coincidence. It looks like political insulation masquerading as legal defense. Kristi Noem, Secretary of Homeland Security, was appointed January 25, 2025. Both Trump and Noem are implicated here. Would the administration be involved at all without explicit approval and direction of Donald Trump?
Suspicious Handling
Legal experts have openly called Alexandrovich’s treatment “fishy.” Normally, an accused predator would:
Appear before a judge within 24 hours.
Have strict bail conditions (passport seizure, GPS monitoring, travel restrictions).
Be barred from leaving the state, much less the country.
Instead, Alexandrovich walked free after posting bond, kept his passport, and was back in Israel within 60 hours. Standard Operating Practice (SOP)? Not on your life.
House Republicans Greene and Massie condemned the release. Nevada’s Acting U.S. Attorney, Sigal Chattah, said the case was entirely in the hands of the Clark County DA. She washed her hands of her DOJ agency’s involvement quickly. Think she did that unilaterally without the explicit approval of Pam Bondi? Not on your life.
Chattah, notably, is an Israeli-born lawyer with hardline Zionist ties who has made inflammatory statements about Gaza. Critics argue her appointment was itself controversial — more than 100 retired judges petitioned against it in writing.
Even more damning: U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel reportedly raised “post-escape” concerns, but no extradition has been pursued. This “fishy” really stinks. Alexandrovich remains in Israel, “on leave” from his official government role.
Who Else Was Arrested?
Alongside Alexandrovich, these men were caught in the sting:
David Wonnacott-Yahnke, 40
Jose Alberto Perez-Torres, 35
Aniket Brajeshkumar Sadani, 23
James Ramon Reddick, 23
Ramon Manuel Parra Valenzuela, 29
Pastor Neal Harrison Creecy, 46 (resigned from his church after release)
John Charles Duncan, 49
All face felony charges of Luring a Child with Computer for Sex Act, punishable by up to 10 years in prison. At least 4 of the 8 arrestees posted bail right away and were released without conditions, Wolfson said, according to the Review-Journal. Unlike Alexandrovich, none were quietly released back to their home countries.
The Larger Pattern
Alexandrovich’s case fits into a much broader history of alleged pedophile offenders fleeing to Israel under the Law of Return, which has allowed dozens of accused pedophiles to evade U.S. justice. Jewish Community Watch, an NGO tracking such cases, says at least 60 fugitives have fled the U.S. to Israel since 2014.
Here, though, the escape wasn’t clandestine. It was practically facilitated — by lax bail, by state-level prosecutors, and by an attorney with a direct line to Trump and Noem. The attorney said he told Alexandrovich that he need not appear.
Political Fallout
This scandal has every element to damage Trump:
Israel (already politically toxic amid Gaza war).
Pedophilia (the Epstein shadow still looms and reaches a zenith today).
Corruption and coverup (Epstein files not released and a Trump-appointed Homeland Security advisor doubling as an alleged pedophile’s defense counsel).
Another pedophile defended by Trump
