Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) detectives in collaboration with Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) homicide officers have exhumed the body of a nine-month-old infant secretly buried at a children’s home operated by American national, Gregory Dow and his wife Mary Rose.
The sanctuary located in Boito, Bomet County was closed down by the government in 2017 after Dow was accused of sexually assaulting children at the facility. The two had operated the children’s since 2008.
Court documents showed Dow engaged in sex with underage girls at the home.
Dow, from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania was previously convicted with sex-crime in the United States and fled Kenya in 2017 after an arrest warrant was issued against him.
Two girls, who claimed to be victims of Dow, recorded reports with police saying that he (Dow) would occasionally summon them and would get upset whenever they refused his advances.
His wife was arrested while trying to leave Kenya and was found guilty of having girls at the sanctuary implanted with birth-control devices. She left the country after paying a court fine of Sh50,000.
There have been concerted efforts between Kenyan authorities and their US counterparts to trace the suspect.
Konoin OCPD Alex Shikondi said the exhumation will help to initiate strong charges against Dow.
“We can now charge the offender because we have tangible evidence that can hold water in a court of law,” Shikondi stated.
Over 70 orphaned and poor children were housed in the facility by the year 2015.
Earlier this year, Dow said he is innocent: “There’s not much I can do. I know the truth. They made the accusations falsely, and they got out of hand.”
He accused a Kenyan man who sold him the parcel of land where their orphanage was built of fixing him in a bid to illegally reclaim the property back. He said the man coached some girls to lie that he sexually assaulted them.
“It’s sad to say we live in a society where people are guilty until proven innocent,” he said in January.
“My life was in danger, and I knew it,” Dow said on the reason why he fled Kenya.
Dow’s former wife Janice Jenkins said he abused their daughter for over two decades when they lived in Ohio.
“The law is finally catching up with them. We expect indictments soon,” Ms. Jenkins told the Daily Nation.
Why does the government…
Why does the government allow this racist savages that do not respect African life into the country?
Do you think an African couple can go to any western nation and receive such privilege?
Hawa ndugu zetu wa asili ya…
Hawa ndugu zetu wa asili ya Yuropa wana matatizo mengi sana yanayotokana na misimamo yao ya ajabu ya mambo ya ngono.
Nawaombeni Wafrika wenzangu, msiwe wepesi (don’t be quick) kupigwa msasa na kuiga (imitate/copy) tabia zao mbovu kutokana na mambo yao ya kutisha wanayofanya kwenye idara ya ngono.
Nawaombeni pia, msiwe wepesi kufuata mambo ya imani yao ya ajabu inayosema ya kwamba, utakapokufa, utakwenda mbinguni au motoni. Imani kama hii ni mbaya na pia hatari sana kwa binadamu kuifuata.
If he slipped away into…
If he slipped away into Kenya from the states, and he is back there, shouldn’t he be in jail now? Just curious. And the Kenyan gova that doesn’t vet foreigners coming in, just opens the door wide open for criminals to get in. Bure kabisa!
Burn him.
Burn him.
Burn him.
Burn him.
