Haiti - USA : An American sentenced to 23 years in prison for abuse of a minor in Haiti

Monday, James Daniel Arbaugh (40), resident at Stuart Draft in Virginia was sentenced to 276 months (23 years) in prison, followed by a life term of supervised release, for having in 2016 engaging in illicit sexual contacts with a minor, said Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division.

Let's recall that James D. Arbaugh, 40, from Stuarts Draft, Virginia, pleaded guilty on February 6, 2018 https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-23506-haiti-flash-american-pedophile-pleads-guilty-to-acts-on-a-haitian-minor.html , for having an unlawful relationship with a 12-year-old child before U.S. District Court Judge Elizabeth K. Dillion of the Western District of Virginia.

"James Arbaugh was a wolf in sheep’s clothing: he posed as a selfless missionary when in reality he was exploiting his position to prey on and sexually abuse vulnerable children in one of the most impoverished areas of the world," said Assistant Attorney General Benczkowski. "Today’s sentencing is a testament to the unwavering commitment of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners to hold sexual predators like Arbaugh accountable for their deplorable crimes."

According to admissions made in connection with his guilty plea, Arbaugh has lived in Haiti for approximately 15 years and has traveled regularly back to the United States during that time. According to statements made by the Court during Armbaugh’s sentencing hearing, during his time in Haiti, Arbaugh traveled as a Mennonite missionary regularly visiting remote towns and villages, where he would befriend and groom children in these communities. Arbaugh admitted that in 2016, while in Haiti, he engaged in illicit sexual contact with a minor under the age of 12 by touching the minor’s genitals under the minor’s clothing.
