IBERS : Michael Geilenfeld, un américain accusé de pédophilie dans la Presse aux Etats-Unis et en Haiti, autorisé à diriger 3 centres d'accueil pour enfants à Port-au-Prince et à Jacmel.


Haïti - pédophilie : 1983 - 2011, 28 années d'exploitations sexuelles sous les yeux de Saint-Joseph.

Le Ré.Cit. (Réseau Citadelle) : www.reseaucitadelle.blogspot.com
Il existe à Port-au-Prince et à Jacmel trois (3) maisons d'accueil pour enfants qui représentent trois (3) foyers d'exploitations sexuelles. Aux dires de plusieurs jeunes qui ont fréquenté ces établissements, ces trois (3) » Maisons Saint-Joseph pour Enfants » réunissent un nombre important d'enfants de rue venant du Centre d'accueil de Carrefour, des bidonvilles de la Capitale et des villes de province. Elles sont dirigées par Michael Geilenfeld, un religieux au passé ombrageux qui est accusé d'abus sexuels sur des enfants démunis d'Haïti.

Sa tactique est connue. Il habitue les enfants à des attouchements corporels allant de simples caresses des membres, des parties du tronc, des fesses, jusqu'à la sodomie. Son chien méchant appelé Micky lui servait d'arme privilégiée pour intimider ses victimes. Plusieurs anciens de Saint-Joseph Home For Boys rapportent avoir été mordus par ce chien sur l'ordre de Geilenfeld.

Des pratiques d'abus sexuels et d'exploitation qui ont provoqué plusieurs mouvements de protestation en 1983, en 1991, et en 2005. Des jeunes danseurs des centres d'accueil Saint-Joseph, en déplacement aux Etats-Unis, ont fait des déclarations dans la presse Américaine dénonçant des abus sexuels de Michael Geilenfeld. Des victimes ont été jusqu'à déposer une plainte formelle, au Consulat Américain de Port-au-Prince, contre leur Bourreau. Ils ont indexé Michael Geilenfeld. Madame Déjean de l'IBERS a été informée à 4 reprises, selon ses témoignages.

Geilenfeld a été traîné devant la justice haïtienne, ses accusateurs critiquent son influence sur des juges, de grands avocats de Port-au-Prince, des policiers, et le comble, sur des officiers de l'Ambassade des États-Unis à Port-au-Prince.

Pourtant, des missionnaires américains ayant travaillé dans les différents Centres d'Accueil Saint-Joseph d'Haïti ont rapporté des faits compromettants allant dans le sens des témoignages des victimes. Mary Kolhaas et Mitchelle Finch sont deux américains qui ont eu le courage de mettre leur témoignage sur papier par devant un notaire Américain en janvier1991. (
Lisez tous les documents sur le site : http://www.dossiergeilenfeld.blogspot.com/)
Le nombre de victimes se compte par centaines. En 28 ans, ils sont nombreux ceux qui déclarent avoir connu les assauts de Geilenfeld. Lors d'un voyage d'enquête à Port-au-Prince, Réseau Citadelle a rencontré environ une douzaine d'adultes, anciens enfants de Saint-Joseph Home for Boys. Les récits sont les mêmes: Geilenfeld leur a caressé le cou, la figure, le ventre, les fesses, il les a pressés contre son sexe en érection, et finalement les moins violents, ou les plus naïfs, ont été sodomisés. Parfois, il utilise des haïtiens pédophiles et surtout bisexuels, membres de son staff, pour les premières attaques sur les enfants fraîchement arrivés.

Les victimes de Geilenfeld sont réparties partout à travers le monde: États-Unis, Europe, Amérique du Sud et Haïti. Après plusieurs tentatives pour stopper cet homme puissant, ils perdent confiance dans la lutte et voient en leur bourreau un homme intouchable au-dessus de la loi, grâce au pouvoir de l'argent. Les jeunes rencontrés sur le dossier n'ont pas cessé de répéter le fameux proverbe de Madame Déjean: "Lajan fè chien danse".

Plusieurs sont morts dans des conditions troublantes, d'autres ont tenté le suicide, la grande majorité s'est réfugiée dans le silence de l'impuissance.

Cependant, avec l'annonce de la condamnation de Douglas Perlitz à Connecticut le 21 décembre 2010, ces jeunes marqués par les abus subis dans les Maisons Saint-Joseph reprennent confiance. Ils nous ont contacté pour les aider à relancer la campagne pour que justice soit faite.

C'est dans cette perspective que nous avions interrogé les plus déterminés et lancé, avec l'aide d'amis américains, une enquête journalistique et un plaidoyer, en vue de forcer les autorités concernées et les membres du Conseil d'administration de "Hearts with Haiti", l'ONG américaine qui supporte les activités de Michael Geilenfeld, à faire la lumière sur les accusations répétées d'exploitation sexuelle des enfants.

Faut-il signaler que plusieurs pédophiles recherchés par la justice pour abus sur des enfants haïtiens ont passé un bon moment avec Michael Geilenfeld. C'est le cas pour Michael Brewer, Thony, Phillip Morris -homosexuel marié à un jeune garçon haïtien en Angleterre et de John Duarte, un prêtre catholique condamné au Canada pour pédophilie en Haïti.

Comment un tel homme peut-il avoir l'autorisation administrative et morale pour continuer à diriger, en toute quiétude, 3 maisons d'accueil pour enfants? Quel réseau se cache derrière Michael Geilenfeld?

Mr Hamlyn,

Child protection advocates are advising the abuse victims not to speak with private investigators hired by you.

I strongly urge that you dedicate yourself to ensuring that law enforcement officials conduct the investigation.

Sincerely,
Paul Kendrick

Child protection advocates voice concerns about proposed investigation of child sexual abuse at St. Joseph's Homes in Port au Prince, Haiti by Hearts with Haiti organization (see letter below).

Here are the steps you need to take:
 
1) Call the police. Report your suspicions to U.S. Homeland Security ICE Investigations, Haitian National Police, United Nations Police and the Haitian Child Welfare office.
 
2) Remove Michael Geilenfeld, a U.S. citizen, from Haiti until the investigation is completed. Ensure that Geilenfeld has no further contact with potential witnesses and/or victims.
 
3) Get out of the way of law enforcement professionals. Forensic investigators are specially trained to investigate child abuse and to interview child sexual abuse victims.

Subject: Response to Accusations
 
Dear Friends and Supporters of Hearts with Haiti and the St. Joseph Family,
 
On November 8th, 2011 the Board of Trustees of Hearts with Haiti voted unanimously to commission an independent and objective investigation of the allegations against Michael Geilenfeld and the St. Joseph Family.  Hearts with Haiti remains supportive of Michael and of the St. Joseph Family, and believes strongly that the St. Joseph Family homes are safe and positive places for children.  While this is our belief and our efforts to fund-raise and support the work continue, it is important to us that these charges be answered in a responsible manner.
 
Yesterday, December 5, 2011, without knowing when the investigation began or the details of its execution, Mr. Davis? communications appeared to disregard his own demand for the very investigation he now challenges as invalid in advance of its conclusion.
 
The execution of this investigation will remain fully objective and independent.  Therefore, Hearts with Haiti will have no further comment on the matter until the Board has received the report, in which Hearts with Haiti will have no input.
 
In addition, Hearts with Haiti is aware that the United States government has also been investigating the allegations.  Hearts with Haiti and the St. Joseph Family will continue to cooperate with the authorities of the United States and Haiti.
 
Mr. Davis? unauthorized use of the same mass distribution list used by the St. Joseph Family to send updates on the outstanding achievements of this ministry is unfortunate and disreputable.
 
Hearts with Haiti and the St. Joseph Family wish to apologize for compromising your contact information to such individuals.
 
Sincerely,

Mr. Sibert,
 
I apologize, I do not speak or write French or Creole.
 
I have visited St. Joseph's Home for Boys in October of 2010 and October 2011. Upon returning several weeks, I learned about the sexual abuse allegations regarding Mike Geilenfeld. I have talked and exchanged many emails with concerned people on both sides, read postings on the internet. I am convinced that at minimum, Mike Geilenfeld and the St. Joseph communities need to be thoroughly investigated.
 
I have many questions. Please forgive my long list of questions.
 
· Is the Haitian Govt. investigating Geilenfeld?
 
· Is the US Govt. investigating?
 
· Are the two governments cooperating?
 
· If Geilenfeld is an offender, how has he been doing it for so long and getting away with it?
 
· Hearts With Haiti Foundation (located in North Carolina, USA) raised $500,000 in 2007, $250,000 in 2008, $400,000 in 2009, and $2 million in 2010 (see this report ). St. Joseph's has a $6 million capital campaign underway to rebuild two orphanages (St. Joseph's Home for Boys and Wings of Hope). Does it cost this much in Haiti to build two orphanages?
 
· How about operating costs - could they be as much as $500,000 a year for three orphanages (Trinity House as well).
 
· If Geilenfeld is an abuser, how much does it take to buy off the social services (IBSER)?
 
· Is he paying people off to look the other way?
 
· Who inspects the orphanages in Haiti?
 
· Is any governing body, the IBSER perhaps, inspecting the St. Joseph's orphanages?
 
· If so, can you get a report proving that St. Joseph's has been inspected?
 
· St. Joseph's claims the IBSER as well as the US Embassy exonerated Mike Geilenfeld in 1991 when he was accused of sexual abuse. Do you have official documents that reflect this claim?
 
· Why don't graduated orphans speak out against him, if they have been abused?
 
· What can naive Americans do to facilitate stopping sexual abuse as is alleged against Mike Geilenfeld?
 
· John Duarte signed a letter written in December of 1990 defending Geilenfeld against sexual abuse charges. The newspaper articles I have read say Duarte was convicted for sexual abuse he committed in Port au Prince and Labodie. One article I found says Duarte helped at a mission in Port au Prince in the early 90s. Was this mission St. Joseph's?
 
· Are Duarte and Geilenfeld part of a network of "humanitarians" in Haiti perpetuating sexual abuse crimes?
 
 
· Have you met Don Lojoie of Windsor Star (Windsor, Ontario). He wrote about the John Duarte case in Labadie and Cite Soleil. I hope you two collaborate. Please call him.
 
I hope you have time to reply.

OPEN LETTER
December 8, 2011
Geoffrey Hamlyn
Executive Directorl
Hearts with Haiti
27 Horne Street
Raleigh , NC 27607
Dear Mr. Hamlyn,

Fully Independent and Objective Investigation?
Two days ago you made the following announcement: "On November 6, 2011, the Board of Trustees of Hearts with Haiti voted unanimously to commission an independent and objective investigation of the allegations against Michael Geilenfeld and the St. Joseph Family…the execution of this investigation will remain fully objective and independent."
Yet, in the same letter you say, "Hearts with Haiti remains supportive of Michael (Geilenfeld) and of the St. Joseph Family, and believes strongly that that the St. Joseph Family Homes are safe and positive places for children."
Do you hear yourself? You've issued the verdict before an official investigation by law enforcement professionals has concluded.
In a separate letter, Pastor Rick Barger, Founder and Executive Director of the Haitian Timoun Foundation, makes a different point: "…We believe…that even the slightest allegation of abuse should be reported to the proper governmental agency or their designated agent for investigation. We hold less faith in non-governmental investigations as such processes are often subject to detractors…because of the current investigation, we have suspended fundraising efforts for them pending a clean exoneration of all charges."

The Voices of the Victims of Child Sexual Abuse Will be Heard
Like you, Rev. Barger maintains his support for Mr. Geilenfeld:"We have long been aware of the 20 year accusations against Michael Geilenfeld. We are also aware that there has not been one investigation that failed to clear him of all charges."
I am not entirely sure what Rev. Barger means by "20 year accusations" (I think he means twenty year-old accusations), but to clear matters up, the allegations of child sexual abuse being brought against Mr. Geilenfeld span a period from 28 years ago to the near present.
(N.B. One wonders how many child sex abuse allegations, no matter how long ago the abuse is alleged to have occurred, an individual can have on his or her resume before the Hearts with Haiti trustees disqualify such a person from having access to children at your orphanages in Haiti.)
Sadly, Mr. Hamyln, neither you nor Rev. Barger make any mention of the courageous individuals who have put aside their own desire for privacy to testify that they were raped and sodomized by Mr. Geilenfeld when they were children.

Protection and Safety of Abuse Victims and Witnesses
Before I continue, I want to make it very clear to you that you and your fellow HWH board members are to be held responsible and accountable for the safety and well being of the abuse victims, witnesses, supporters and others who have information about crimes being committed against children by Michael Geilenfeld.
As trustees, you are mandated to oversee the care and well being of the children at the St. Joseph 's Homes. Therefore, you must immediately suspend Mr. Geilenfeld from his duties in Haiti and return him to the United States until such time as law enforcement authorities have completed their investigation. In addition, you must ensure that Geilenfeld is not able to threaten or intimidate victims and witnesses, as he has done over and over again in the past.

"Kangaroo Court"
I have already likened your 'fully objective and independent"investigation to a 'Kangaroo Court."
Here's what you must do:
1) Call the police with your suspicions. Contact ICE - Homeland Security Investigations, the Haitian National Police, United Nations Police and the Haitian Child Welfare office.
2) Remove Mr. Geilenfeld, a U.S. citizen, from Haiti until the investigation is completed. Ensure that Geilenfeld has no further contact with potential witnesses and/or victims. Make a public announcement to this effect.
3) Get out of the way of law enforcement professionals. Forensic investigators are specially trained to investigate child abuse and to interview child sexual abuse victims.

Sincerely,
Paul Kendrick

· What can naive Americans do to facilitate stopping sexual abuse as is alleged against Mike Geilenfeld?
 
· John Duarte signed a letter written in December of 1990 defending Geilenfeld against sexual abuse charges. The newspaper articles I have read say Duarte was convicted for sexual abuse he committed in Port au Prince and Labodie. One article I found says Duarte helped at a mission in Port au Prince in the early 90s. Was this mission St. Joseph's?
 
· Are Duarte and Geilenfeld part of a network of "humanitarians" in Haiti perpetuating sexual abuse crimes?
 
· Have you met Don Lojoie of Windsor Star (Windsor, Ontario). He wrote about the John Duarte case in Labadie and Cite Soleil. I hope you two collaborate. Please call him.
 
I hope you have time to reply.

La ministre du Tourisme, Stéphanie B. Villedrouin, a annoncé jeudi qu'un montant de 40 millions de dollars du fonds Petro-Caribe sera alloué pour que Jacmel devienne la première destination touristique du pays. 

Le département du Sud-Est, notamment la ville de Jacmel, constitue l'une des zones prioritaires pour le développement du tourisme en Haïti. Jacmel, ville portuaire de quelque 40 000 habitants, qui a été également frappée par le tremblement de terre du 12 janvier 2010, se remet lentement mais sûrement de ses blessures post-séisme. Avec une rondelette somme de 40 millions de dollars discutée en Conseil des ministres mercredi, le ministère du Tourisme semble vouloir faire de Jacmel la première destination touristique du pays. Selon la ministre du Tourisme, les fonds seront utilisés dans des travaux d'infrastructure « pour développer et positionner Jacmel comme une ville-phare touristique ». Le centre historique de Jacmel, l'aéroport de la ville, la plage Congo sont, entre autres, des espaces qui seront réhabilités dans le cadre de ce projet. « Quand on parle du pays, c'est très vaste, mais quand on prend un produit spécifique ou une région spécifique auxquels nous voulons donner notre appui, c'est plus sensé pour obtenir des résultats à court terme », a fait remarquer Stéphanie Villedrouin, soulignant qu'une première tranche de 20 millions de dollars sera décaissée dans les prochains jours. « Tous les projets vont être disponibles à compter du 14 juin afin de savoir dans quoi cet argent va être investi à court terme », a fait remarquer la ministre. L'Agence de développement touristique de la France (Atout-France) - un organisme regroupant tous les partenaires du tourisme français pour faire la promotion de la destination France à travers le monde - est donc chargée de fournir une assistance technique dans le cadre des travaux. « Stratégiquement, le rapprochement que nous allons faire avec la France va nous aider à positionner Jacmel et nous fournir l'assistance technique dont nous avons besoin. C'est très positif pour le tourisme », a déclaré Mme Villedrouin. En effet, la ministre a eu mardi une journée de travail avec une délégation de cet organisme qui a visité différentes villes et régions en Haïti, notamment Jacmel, la Côte des Arcadins, Port-au-Prince. « Ils [les membres de la délégation] sont très satisfaits et nous ont rassuré. Ils nous ont dit que nous avons un produit que nous pouvons vendre demain matin, mais que nous devons le structurer et l'organiser », a indiqué la titulaire du ministère du Tourisme. Jacmel occupe la quatrième position dans la liste des huit meilleures villes à visiter lors de la recherche pour beau soleil, des plages et des eaux bleues cristallines dans la région, dressée par la « BBC Lonely Planet » . Mais, mis à part Jacmel, beaucoup d'autres sites touristiques du pays (la citadelle Henri, le palais Sans-souci à Milot, les grottes disséminées un peu partout dans le pays, par exemple la grotte de Connu-Bois à Camp-Perrin, la grotte Marie-Jeanne à Port-à-Piment, entre autres, méritent également une attention du ministère du Tourisme.
