Arrest of four defendants in the case of sexual abuse and exploitation of a 12-year-old girl by Column– ordered the investigator leading the main investigation.

The bailiff, with the consent of the competent prosecutor, issued four new warrants against the defendants now for the felony of sexual intercourse with a minor for payment.

The new warrants were issued following additional testimony given by a 12-year-old girl in the presence of a child psychologist who appears to have identified other individuals playing a criminal role in what she suffered.

The information indicates that three of the four warrants issued by the bailiff concern persons who allegedly voluntarily approached the GADA in the previous days in order to clarify, as they stated, their position.

Judging by what these people, who are now defendants in the case, allegedly claimed, their participation in the case begins and ends with online conversations with a minor. The new defendants denied having ever met the child. However, the evidence available to the investigator from the victim’s own testimony seems to refute the three defendants, since the girl recognized the men she met. The same applies to the fourth arrest warrant issued by the investigator, which concerns the “client” of the main accused and already temporarily detained Ilyas Mishu, who met with a 12-year-old teenager.

With the issuance of new warrants, the 12-year-old’s case file now covers 10 defendants, six of whom, including the child’s mother, have been taken into custody.

Once arrested, the new defendants will appear before an investigator to answer the charges leveled against them by the authorities.
