is jailed for 11 years A former senior policy advisor to the US government who flew to the UK to have sex with a girl who he believed to be nine-years-old has been jailed for 11-and-a-half years.
International investment banker Rahamim Shy, 47, travelled to Bedfordshire from New York in February 2024 to have sex with the girl following more than a month of planning.
This followed correspondence with an individual describing herself as 'Debbie', the girl's grandmother.
However, unbeknown to Shy, the girl did not exist and 'Debbie' was in fact an undercover officer with Bedfordshire Police.
Shy, a US citizen, who lives in New Jersey, worked for the White House under president Barack Obama and secretary of state Hillary Clinton.
