(AP) A Lebanese American businessman who was a key witness in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report and who helped broker the release of American hostages was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison sentence on child sex charges.

George Nader pleaded guilty in January to bringing a 14-year-old boy from the Czech Republic to the U.S. 20 years ago to engage in sexual activity. He also acknowledged possessing child pornography.

Nader’s name appears more than 100 times in the Mueller report. It details Nader’s efforts to serve as liaison between Russians and members of President Donald Trump’s transition team.

Editors Note: The AP article left out the FACT that : In December 2019, Nader was charged in U.S. federal court with violating campaign finance laws by allegedly also using over three and half million dollars to reach out to Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 campaign for the U.S. Presidency, through a front, WSJ report 

In the 1990s, Nader served as a broker to facilitate the release of American hostages held in the Middle East.

The convictions carried a 10-year mandatory minimum. The judge could have imposed a longer term, though prosecutors also recommended a 10-year sentence.

Nader also agreed to pay $150,000 in restitution to the Czech boy he abused, who is now an adult and testified at Friday’s sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Alexandria by phone.

“George destroyed practically my entire life, and I am trying to put it back together piece by piece,” he said through a translator.

Nader’s interest in children and his status as a behind-the-scenes power player both extend back decades. And there’s at least some indication that the latter shielded him from the consequences of the former.

Almost 30 years ago, Nader was caught by customs officials transporting two films, hidden in candy tins, of minor boys into the U.S. He received a six-month sentence, a term that prosecutors in the current case acknowledge is “far below what would be expected of such a crime today.”

In 1991, as he awaited sentencing, his case was twice delayed so he could continue his work on hostage negotiations. Court records cited by his current defense lawyers indicate that British hostage Jon McCarthy and American hostage Edward Tracy were released in July of that year and that Nader played an outsized role in securing the release. Participants in the negotiations wrote letters to the judge on Nader’s behalf.

Later, in 2003, Nader sentenced to a 1-year prison term in the Czech Republic after being convicted there on 10 counts of sexually abusing minors and sentenced to a one-year prison term in 2003.

Prosecutors say the abused boys were largely child prostitutes. The 14-year-old boy brought to the U.S. also alleged he was victimized by Nader int he Czech case, though Nader’s lawyers say he wasn’t convicted there. The two sides dispute the extent of abuse inflicted on the boy in the U.S. but Nader has admitted to one sex act.

Nader “used his contacts and his wealth to accomplish” bringing the Czech boy into the U.S., prosecutor Jay Prabhu wrote.

The current case against Nader began in 2018 when images were found on his phone after it was confiscated under a search warrant connected to the Mueller probe.

The images found in Nader’s phones at Dulles International Airport ended up not being the basis for the child-pornography conviction. Instead, prosecutors relied on images and videos he received via email in 2012 that in some cases involved sadistic depictions of infants or toddlers.

Even though it had no bearing on the sentence Nader received, defense lawyers and prosecutors continued to argue at Friday’s sentencing hearing as to whether the images found on the phone were child pornography. Nader’s attorney, Jonathan Jeffress, acknowledged that the photos showed naked children and were obscene, but said they amounted to “dirty jokes” and that Nader had put his struggles with child pornography behind him in 2012.

Prosecutors say the images included clear depictions of child pornography and bestiality and show that Nader is a lifelong recidivist.

Parts of the sentencing papers detailing Nader’s testimony to the special counsel remain blacked out.

Nader, for his part, apologized for his actions at Friday’s hearing.

“I have listened to what’s been said about me,” he said. “I can say I am sincerely, deeply sorry for the suffering I have caused.”

He will be sentenced at a later date.

Robinson, from South Ockendon, Essex, admitted engaging in sexual activity with the teenager in Bradford in August 2018.

He also entered a guilty plea to making and distributing an indecent image of a child via Snapchat on the same date.

He denied a further charge of distributing an indecent photograph of a child in December 2017, and the court heard the prosecution will not proceed with this count.

The winger, who was sacked by Bradford for gross misconduct after he was charged by police in February, arrived at court wearing a black face mask, white trainers, a dark red coat and cropped, grey, checked trousers.

He was granted bail until his sentencing and was ordered to sign the sex offenders’ register before he left court.

Judge Jonathan Rose said: “Dealing with you Robinson, you pleaded guilty to all matters save the last count. The prosecution will not seek to try you on that count.

“Your case is now adjourned to be sentenced.”

He continued: “You must not assume that the fact that I’m adjourning sentence and granting you bail is to mean that any particular sentence will be imposed upon you.

“All options will be open to the judge who deals with your case, and that will very much include the possibility of a prison sentence.”

A second defendant, Korrie Berman, 21, from Essex, pleaded not guilty to five charges of engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a child.

He will go on trial on April 12 next year.

Bradford City declined to comment following today’s hearing. 

A former professional footballer from Thurrock, Essex, is due in court accused of a string of sex offences.

Tyrell Robinson, 22, of South Ockendon, has been charged with engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a child, one count of making an indecent image of a child and two counts of distributing an indecent image of a child.

The 22-year-old played for League Two side Bradford City before being sacked by the club over the accusations in February this year.

He appeared at Bradford Magistrates’ Court on June 2 via a Skype link where he signalled to confirm his name, date of birth and address.

Robinson is accused of sexually touching a 14-year-old girl in Bradford in August 2018, as well as being accused of making and distributing an indecent image of a child via Snapchat on the same day.

Robinson is also charged with distributing an indecent photograph of a child in a video sent by WhatsApp in December 2017.

The ex-winger will appear at Bradford Crown Court today (Tuesday, June 16).

He was charged with engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a child, making an indecent image of a child and two counts of distributing an indecent image of a child.

Robinson was not asked to enter pleas to any of the four counts.

He was unable to be heard by the court but they could see him on the screen and he indicated that he understood the charges.

The District Judge ordered Robinson to appear in person at the hearing at Bradford Crown Court.

His bail was enlarged on condition he lives at his home address so that letters from the court will reach him.

Robinson’s co-accused, Korrie Berman, appeared before the magistrates at a separate hearing this morning.

Berman, 21, of Barnmead Meadow, Grays, Thurrock, must also attend at Bradford Crown Court on June 16.

Robinson faces the following four charges:

• On 13/08/2018 at Bradford, being a person aged 18 or over, intentionally touched a girl aged 14, not reasonably believing she was 16 or over, the touching being sexual and involving the penetration of her vagina with a part of your body, namely your penis.
• On 13/08/2018 at Bradford made an indecent photograph, namely one Category A image recovered from snapchat stories, of children.
• On 13/08/2018 at Bradford distributed an indecent photograph, namely Category A image via Snapchat to Berman, of children
• On 17/12/2017 at Bradford distributed an indecent photograph, namely Category A video of a child.

Berman is charged with five offences of engaging in penetrative sexual activity with a girl aged 13 to 15 at Bradford.

KOUNTZE, Texas — An 18-year-old former Jasper High football player is behind bars in Hardin County, held on a child sex assault charge.

Terrien Collins, a member of last season’s Jasper High School football team, was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, as well as unlawful restraint of a person less than 17 years old.

According to jail records, Collins was arrested by the Silsbee Police Department, serving a warrant from the Sabine County Sheriff’s Office.

He was booked at Hardin County Jail at 4:39 a.m. Monday and is currently being held without bond. According to Hardin County Sheriff Mark Davis, Collins can be held at the jail for up to 10 days before the charging agency (Sabine County) is required to transport him.

“With something like this, I’m surprised they didn’t come get him today,” Davis said.

Collins, 18, played defensive back for the Jasper Bulldogs, and had signed his national letter of intent to play at Texas A&M-Commerce.
