A Bangladeshi national has been arrested and charged in the District of Alaska for alleged abuse and exploitation of hundreds of minor victims in Alaska, the U.S. and abroad.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - The United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Alaska has unsealed a 13-count indictment against a Bangladeshi national who has been arrested and charged with alleged abuse and exploitation of hundreds of minor victims in Alaska, abroad, and across the U.S.
Authorities describe this as, “one of the malicious, digitally facilitated sextortion and child pornography production schemes investigated to date by the FBI.” “There are few crimes as damaging and traumatic to a young person as sextortion,” said U.S. Attorney S. Lane Tucker for the District of Alaska. “It is especially evil to target impressionable children using social media apps such as Snapchat to exploit their innocence for pictures and videos. These children have been robbed of their childhood; and their lives and the lives of their families forever altered.
Jung added, “Children would then be coerced into producing sexually explicit material and terrorized with threats of exposure if they did not continue. The protection of our children extends beyond borders, and this case demonstrates the multi-jurisdictional approach among local, state, federal, and international law enforcement partners to maximize our efforts in the pursuit of justice.”
