Roy Naim, the 'Jewish Face of the Immigration Reform Struggle' featured in Time magazine, arrested on child porn charges and denied bail
An immigration advocate profiled in a Time cover story has been arrested on child pornography charges. Self-fashioned immigration activist Roy Naim, 29, downloaded three child pornography videos and is currently in federal custody after being denied bail Wednesday, officials said. The accused pervert has volunteered at a camp for special needs children in the past, a position he appears to have left in 2010 One of the subjects of a 2012 Time story on 35 undocumented illegal immigrants, Mr Naim pleaded not guilty to a single count of receiving child pornography. The Israeli national was deemed a flight risk and denied bail.
US Attorney Saritha Komatireddy argued Mr Naim should be denied bail because of the risk he posed to the community as an accused pedophile who has worked in the past with children, has no job and isnt a citizen, according to CNN. Attorney Richard Finkel unsuccessfully countered that Mr Naim spends most of his time volunteering and helping others, CNN reported. Additionally, Mr Finkel noted that the Naim family, with very little money and no property, doesnt have the means to help Roy Naim flee. Without assets for collateral, the judge explained, she had no choice but to deny bail, said CNN.
