Elior Chen, a 29-year-old from Beitar Ellit who is suspected of involvement in a severe case of child abuse, turned himself in to Sao Paolo police in Brazil Wednesday, following a two-month long police manhunt.

Israeli Police estimated that Chen would be extradited to Israel soon.

Chen's lawyer told IDF Radio that his client turned himself in after news articles in Brazil blamed the Jewish community there for sheltering a child abuser.
