Child porn charges BOJAN Ambrus, a Serbian na- tional of 39 and a St Paul's Bay resident, was charged with sex- ually abusing minors and pos- sessing pornographic footage of them yesterday. A 15-year-old was allegedly the first one out of a number of victims who spoke out after ter- minating her relationship with Ambruys. Two other alleged vic- tims reached out to police after the 15-year-old claimed she was sexually abused and that the ac- cused had taken footage. Ambrus was accused of sexual- ly abusing minors aged between 12 and 15 and that he had in his possession indecent material fea- turing children. Police said they found footage on his phone of his victims. Inspector John Spiteri told the court, presided over by Char- maine Galea, that the accused had committed similar crimes in Canada. Ambrus was also charged with voluntary damage caused to a police car as well as causing slight injuries to a police officer while he was being arrested in Mellieha. His legal aid lawyer, Raisa Co- lombo, asked the court to order a ban on the publication of his name. The prosecution objected, said that if his name is published in the media, other victims might come to light. The magistrate ordered that the accused be remanded under arrest.
