Former diplomat, father of 3, charged with sexually abusing children during playdates in Washington, DC

Former diplomat Thomas Mahony, an Australian national and ex-World Bank economist, faces charges of sexually abusing three young children in his DC neighborhood. Arrested last month, the accusations stem from incidents reported as early as 2023. All three minors told investigators that they had been at Mahony’s house playing with his children when the abuse occurred — watching a movie, playing video games or pretending to run a Target store.
