US advisor who flew to Bedford to try and rape a child is jailed

  • Rahamim Shy, a former senior adviser in the Obama administration, was sentenced to 11 years and six months in prison for attempting to rape a 9-year-old girl in the U.K. and possessing indecent photos of a child.
  • Shy traveled to England believing he was meeting a girl, but she was a fictitious creation of the Bedfordshire Police.
  • The court rejected Shy's defense that he was exempt from prosecution due to being in the U.S. during his communications about the crime.
  • Prosecutor Lorraine Telford stated that Shy was a predator prepared to commit unspeakable acts against a child, and his actions demonstrated a clear intent to abuse.
