Man with ICE Hold arrested in Savannah for child sex crimes, pandering

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - A man has been arrested in Savannah this week charged with multiple child sex crimes.
40-year-old Eliel Madeiz was arrested by Savannah PD. Officers took him into custody on 3 counts of pandering, child molestation, sexual battery against a child under 16, and conspiracy to commit a felony.

Savannah PD says they won’t release any details on the arrest because of child abuse protections when it comes to releasing reports. We will have to wait til it appears in court to get more information on the case.
Meanwhile, he’s being held on an ICE hold, and was not granted bond. He’ll stay in the Chatham County Jail for now.
