London — A CBS News investigation revealed a disturbing trend last year of child abuse suspects managing to flee from justice in the U.S. to Israel. One of those suspects, Gershon Kranczer, was finally returned to New York City on Thursday to face charges after more than a decade in Israel. He's accused of molesting two female relatives, one of them just six years old at the time.

CBS News correspondent Ian lee has investigated these cases for years, and his reporting has had an impact.

Activists say people like Kranczer have for decades exploited a process called theLaw of Return, whereby any Jewish person can move to Israel and automatically gain citizenship.Our investigation revealed how dozens of accused and convicted American pedophiles have used the process to flee to Israel.

In 2019, Lee and a CBS News crew were there as a private group in Israel went on a stakeout looking for Jimmy Karow, an American wanted for sexually assaulting multiple children.
