“Amin delighted in sexually abusing hundreds of minor victims over social media,” the document said. He adopted false identities, often posing as a teenager, to trick victims into sending him explicit images, prosecutors said. In executing dozens of search warrants and subpoenas, investigators eventually learned his identity and realised he had done similar things to hundreds of minor victims, prosecutors wrote. The only way to get him to stop demanding more images, Amin told the girls, was to recruit other victims, the document said. “Because he was in Malaysia and his victims were primarily in the US, Amin viewed himself as untouchable by law enforcement,” prosecutors wrote.
