The millionaire founder of a charity to aid Russian terror victims has been charged by federal officials with taking three girls from a Russian orphanage, molesting them, and then setting them up as prostitutes in Moscow, according to the Bucks County Courier Times, in Pennsylvania.
Andrew Mogilyansky — chief executive of IFEX Global, a fire-extinguisher company in Bensalem, Pa., and founder of the International Foundation for Terror Act Victims, a group that says it has raised more than $1-million for victims of terrorism in Russia — was taken into custody December 2 as results of a grand jury investigation were released. If convicted, he faces up to 30 years in prison.
The newspaper could not reach Mr. Mogilyansky for comment, and a woman who answered the door at his home in Richboro, Pa., declined to be interviewed.
