An American sex pest accused of sexually assaulting four underage girls in Kenya before fleeing to the US in 2017 has pleaded guilty to the offense.
On Monday, Gregory Jones Dow admitted he defiled the girls who were residents of a children’s home he was operating in Boito, Bomet County since 2008, according to LNP Tribune.
Dow, who was previously convicted with sex-crime in the US, fled Kenya in 2017 after an arrest warrant was issued against him over rape allegations.
The 61-year-old faces a 16-year jail sentence after he pleaded guilty before Edward Smith, a District Judge of the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The court was told that two girls were aged 11, one was 12 and one was 13 when Dow began defiling them.
“Dow purported to be a Christian missionary who would care for these orphans. They called him ‘Dad.’ But instead of being a father figure for them, he preyed on their youth and vulnerability.”
“Dow used force and coercion to perpetrate the most heinous of crimes, preying on vulnerable children for his own sexual gratification,” the prosecution said.
His sentencing is scheduled for September 29th, 2020.
Two of the girls told Kenyan police that Dow would occasionally summon them and would get upset when they refused his advances.
His wife, Mary Rose Dow, was arrested while attempting to flee Kenya and was found guilty of having girls at the home implanted with birth-control devices. She left the country after paying a court fine of Sh50,000.
Dow, a resident of Lancaster County in Pennsylvania was arrested last year by US police.

Cases of rapes must be…
Cases of rapes must be punished severely and those criminals regardless their race ,creed, religion and country of origin should be held without bail and when convicted and sentenced serve maximum time in Kenya jails. Criminals should never be allowed to avoid prison time by corrupting the judicial system. Underage minors, both boys and girls, must be protected from pedophiles and sex predators. Kenya laws should be rigorously enforced and not be made a laughing joke.
