The US Central Intelligence Management (CIA) has hidden sexual crimes against children to protect confidential information and state secrets for decades. This is reported by Buzzfeed News, with reference to the internal reports of the agency.
at least ten employees of the management were worn in crimes with minors. Although most of the affairs were transferred to American prosecutors for a trial, only one member of the organization was charged. The rest of the affairs were sent back to the CIA for internal consideration, and the criminals remained actually unpunished.
So, the agency dismissed without further prosecution of one of the employees who made sex with a 2-year-old and 6-year-old child. Another employee who bought baby porn, the management sent to resign. The only CIA officer who received accusations against crimes against children was additionally under investigation on charges of improper handling of secret materials.
Former officials told Buzzfeed News that the prosecutor’s office refuses to initiate criminal cases, since in the case of the CIA proceedings, it is afraid of losing control over classified information.
The agency lawyers fear that with the country’s testimony, the accused can reveal the sources and methods.
