A senior policy advisor from former President Barack Obama’s administration has found himself embroiled in a heinous legal battle involving crimes against children. Rahamim Shy, 46, was apprehended by British authorities in Bedfordshire towards the end of February on grave charges related to child exploitation.
According to details revealed in court documents obtained by The Daily Mail, Shy stands accused of orchestrating the commission of a child sex offense, marking a deeply disturbing and reprehensible act. Additionally, he faces charges of possessing two category C indecent images of children and possessing a prohibited image of a child.
The seriousness of the allegations was further underscored as Shy made his appearance at Luton Crown Court via video link last Friday, clad in a grey prison-issued tracksuit. The gravity of the situation cannot be overstated as legal proceedings unfold against an individual who once held a position of influence within the Obama administration.
As details continue to emerge surrounding this troubling case, it serves as a stark reminder that no one is above the law and that justice must be pursued rigorously and impartially.
Shy specifically worked in a senior role at the US Treasury Department from 2008 to 2014, advising officials on countering the financing of terrorism and assisting foreign governments to impose sanctions on hostile regimes. This probably explains why he was brought into contact with Clinton since the State Department imposes sanctions on foreign powers.
He also provided strategic policy analysis to chiefs of staff at the Department of Defense (DOD)according to to the Mail.
As part of his work with the DOD, he went to Afghanistan to provide “expertise” to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), a NATO-led group responsible for maintaining stability following America’s invasion more than two decades ago.
After leaving the White House, Shy went to work for Citi Bank, where he held a variety of top executive positions according to his Linkedin page. A spokesman at the bank told the Daily Mail that Shy is no longer employed there.

The Mail reveals Shy has not entered a plea at this time and is currently in police custody ahead of hearing in June. He is scheduled to go on trial in August.
