Maybe Haiti should have closed its borders to foreign of different skin color.

It doesn’t seem possible. None of it. It’s a warning about the chilling power of evil.

It does seem that there a lot of foreigners going to and fro in Haiti, accountable to seemingly no one, and up to no good. This is a complaint I have heard from multiple Haitians.

My sister recently met a Haitian at a large store who detailed that he had been molested. She asked him if it was Jeriah and he said, "No". Then described the group as Holdeman based on covering description. Told my sister that I think many "missionaries" wear black coverings to Haiti.

I wasn't aware that Jeriah was no longer incarcerated, but online records show he is on judicial release. He was sentenced to 9 years in prison in 2019, but apparently the sentence was reduced due to good behavior and completing certain programs. All of that was for state charges not related to the allegations from when he was in Haiti.

The new indictment would be US federal charges for the alleged abuse in Haiti, for which he has not yet had any legal consequences. This indictment should not be a surprise then, I suppose.

I didn’t see anything about any legal authorities from Haiti being involved. Apparently the US government can prosecute US citizens for crimes they commit abroad?
