Despite facing serious charges of luring or attempting to lure a child with computer technology to engage in sexual conduct, Alexandrovich was able to pay bail and leave the country.
On September 3rd, he appeared for his hearing virtually via videoconferencing.
According to reports, the public has been outspoken about the U.S. State Department’s decision to allow Alexandrovich to leave the country. Some have accused the government on intervening in the situation on behalf of Israel. The situation became even more controversial when Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson and Nevada U.S. Attorney Sigal Chattah got into an online dispute over the situation.
Attorney Chattah posted a message on X claiming that the district attorney “allowed” the suspect to flee the country despite being an “alleged child molester”. In response to the heated social media post, the District Attorney confirmed that the suspect’s bail was standard and preset by the court. He also stated that there was no release conditions associated with the bail, so the suspect’s decision to return to Israel was not a violation.
Wednesday’s hearing was no less controversial, as the defense attorney, judge, and prosecutor all had very strong opinions on the situation. At multiple times during the proceedings, the judge reportedly had to chide the defense’s representative, lawyer David Chesnoff.
The prosecutor told the judge that he wasn’t asking for any additional conditions other than requiring that the suspect has no other contact with minors.
During the hearing, Judge Schifalacqua directly asked the Chief Deputy District Attorney if they wanted the suspect to remain in the state or county, but he confirmed that he did not need to make that request.
Prosecutors in this case also made it clear that there is no way to supervise the release conditions of no minor contact, especially considering the distance between the suspect and law enforcement in the states.
The main reason why this case has been so controversial is because most foreign nationals must remain in the country where the crime was committed until the legal process is resolved. In fact, there are usually legal consequences imposed on foreign nationals who decide to return home without legal approval. These individuals could potentially face detention, increased penalties, and additional charges.
