Diplomat Ordered Held Without Bond - News Story - WRC | Washington:
ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- A U.S. Foreign Service officer stationed in Brazil and Congo who is accused of using his office to pressure female visa applicants for sex has been ordered held without bond pending trial.
Gons G. Nachman, of Washington, is charged in U.S. District Court with misuse of a passport, making false statements and possession of child pornography.
At a detention hearing Tuesday, a magistrate ruled that the 42-year-old is a flight risk because he is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Costa Rica and could easily flee to his native country.
Federal public defender Geremy Kamens noted that the charges involve sex tapes Nachman allegedly made abroad with 16- and 17-year-old girls. He said it is unusual for the government to bring child pornography charges in cases involving post-pubescent teens.
