Georgian National Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Soliciting Hate Crimes and Planning Mass Casualty Attack in New York City

ADIC Barnacle: "This defendant’s repeated and consistent efforts to solicit violence resulted in irreparable damage to numerous families in the United States and around the world. His ideologically driven, racially-motivated, and anti-Semitic actions inspired followers, admirers, and members of the Maniac Murder Cult and similar hate groups to commit heinous acts. This arrest and subsequent sentencing send a strong message to those who wish to engage in hate-filled violence; you will face the consequences regardless of your location. Being overseas will not shield anyone from the relentless pursuit of the FBI New York’s Joint Terrorism Task Force to deliver justice.”

The Justice Department recently announced the results of Operation Iron Pursuit, a one-month, nationwide enforcement effort to find child victims of s*x abuse and arrest child s*x predators. More than 200 child victims were located and over 350 child s*xual abuse offenders were arrested. All 56 FBI field offices and U.S. Attorneys’ offices around the country participated in the coordinated takedown effort.

ADIC Barnacle: “Removing dangerous child s*x predators from our streets—such as the arrest of a Rockland County man for his alleged s*xual exploitation of a minor—protects some of our most innocent and vulnerable members of society. We will never take our foot off the gas in the crimes against children fight. May today’s announcement emphasize FBI New York’s commitment to holding accountable those who commit this horrific abuse.”
