An Israeli government official charged with soliciting a minor believed he was meeting a 15-year-old girl for sexual contact, according to police and brought a condom to the planned rendezvous in Las Vegas.
Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, a division head at the Israel National Cyber Directorate, was arrested in a police sting operation aimed at online users seeking to sexually prey on children. The Las Vegas outlet 8NewsNow reported that Alexandrovich chatted with an officer posing as a teenager online before being arrested.
The sexual contact included bringing a condom and taking the decoy to Cirque du Soleil, which stages elaborate shows along the Las Vegas Strip, said police documents seen by 8NewsNow.

What are the chances Alexandrovich will show up at his hearing to defend his innocence?
