Nidal Shureih
A 44-year-old Millbrae resident who pleaded no contest for possessing child pornography in October failed to appear in court Tuesday for sentencing, according to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office.
Nidal Shureih was out on custody on $125,000 bail bond but Judge Leland Davis issued a $200,000 bench warrant for his arrest Tuesday for failing to appear in court.
He is due to be sentenced to two years in state prison.
Shureih, who owns a limousine company, contacted a 14-year-old New Jersey girl using “Kik Messenger,” which allows complete strangers to randomly connect and chat with each other.
During several hours of chatting with the girl, Shureih pressured her to send him several pictures of her in various stages of undress and she did so, according to prosecutors.
When the girl found out how old he was, she attempted to break contact but he threatened to publish the photos of her online, according to prosecutors.
She then told her family who contacted local police, according to prosecutors.
A search warrant of his phone revealed numerous images of child pornography plus pictures of sexually explicit contacts with young teenagers, according to prosecutors.
