A former senior policy adviser to the Obama administration has appeared in court in Britain charged with child sex offences.

Rahamim ‘Rami’ Shy, 46, who co-ordinated the US government’s strategy to combat terrorists from Al Qaeda and the Taliban, is accused of arranging the commission of a child sex offence.

He is also charged with possession of indecent images of children and possessing of a prohibited image of a child.

He is due to go on trial in August.

Per The Daily Mail:

A former senior policy adviser to the Obama administration has appeared in court in Britain charged with child sex offences.

Rahamim ‘Rami’ Shy, 46, who co-ordinated the US government’s strategy to combat terrorists from Al Qaeda and the Taliban, is accused of arranging the commission of a child sex offence, court documents reveal.

He is also charged with possession of two category C indecent images of children and possessing a prohibited image of a child.

Shy, a US citizen, who lives in New Jersey, worked for the White House under president Barack Obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton, was arrested in late February by Bedfordshire Police. He was charged the following day and appeared at Luton Crown Court via video-link from HMP Bedford on Friday wearing a grey prison-issue tracksuit.

He was not asked to enter a plea to any of the charges and was remanded in custody ahead of a hearing in June.

Per IB Times:

In a stunning turn of events, Rahamim ‘Rami’ Shy, a prominent figure in the Obama administration’s anti-terrorism efforts, faces serious charges related to child sex offenses. Shy, 46, once a senior policy adviser tasked with combating the threats of Al Qaeda and the Taliban, now finds himself at the center of a legal storm.

According to court documents, Shy stands accused of arranging the commission of a child sex offense. The allegations have sent shockwaves through both political circles and the public at large. Scheduled to stand trial in August, Shy’s legal ordeal looms large.

The charges against Shy are grave. Among them is the possession of indecent images of children, a violation that has raised serious concerns about his conduct while serving in a position of authority. His arrest earlier this year by Bedfordshire Police marked the beginning of what promises to be a high-profile legal battle.

Once a trusted adviser in the corridors of power, Shy’s fall from grace has been swift and dramatic. His connections to high-ranking officials, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, only add to the intrigue surrounding his case. As the details emerge, questions abound about how someone with such responsibilities could find themselves entangled in such allegations.
