海地太子港消息：海地警方周五向美联社透露，一名被指控在海地经营非法孤儿院的美国传教士，因性侵儿童的指控而被拘留。
EVENS SANON PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A U.S. missionary accused of running an illegal orphanage in Haiti has been detained over allegations of child abuse, Haitian police told The Associated Press on Friday.
卡普-海蒂安警察局发言人阿罗尔德·让表示，美国当局于周三在当地逮捕了托马斯·奥斯贝克。他并未透露涉事美国机构的名称。
Arold Jean, a spokesperson for the Cap-Haitien police department, said U.S. authorities arrested Thomas Osbeck there on Wednesday. He did not identify the U.S. agency involved.
目前尚不清楚奥斯贝克是否有辩护律师。周五，美联社记者被禁止探视关押在狱中的奥斯贝克。
It wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney. An Associated Press journalist was barred from visiting Osbeck in jail on Friday.
让称，奥斯贝克并未持有在卡普-海蒂安经营孤儿院所需的合法手续，海地当局在该地发现了至少12名未成年人。他预计奥斯贝克将被引渡回美国。
Jean said Osbeck did not have the required paperwork to operate an orphanage in Cap-Haitien, where Haitian authorities found at least 12 minors. He said he expects Osbeck to be extradited to the United States.
就在两周前，美国当局指控来自路易斯安那州曼斯菲尔德的23岁男子梅隆·福希，在赴海地执行传教任务期间性侵未成年人。
Osbeck was detained nearly two weeks after U.S. authorities charged Maylon Foshee, 23, of Mansfield, Louisiana, with sexually abusing minors during mission trips to Haiti.
据称，2023年至2026年间，福希多次前往海地沿海城市戈纳伊夫，为当地一家教会工作，期间涉嫌性侵多名受其照顾的未成年人，这些孩子有的与他同住，有的接受他的经济资助。
Authorities said Foshee traveled to Haiti numerous times between 2023 and 2026 while working with a ministry in the coastal city of Gonaives and allegedly sexually abused several minors under his care, including those who lived with him or received financial support from him.
去年，迈阿密的一个陪审团判定迈克尔·盖伦菲尔德有罪，认定他在自己创办的太子港孤儿院内对男童实施性侵。盖伦菲尔德此前一直坚称自己无罪。这家创办于1985年的孤儿院是他在海地及多米尼加共和国开办的多家机构之一，已于2014年关闭。
Last year, a jury in Miami convicted Michael Geilenfeld of sexually abusing boys at an orphanage he founded in Port-au-Prince. Geilenfeld had pleaded not guilty. The orphanage, founded in 1985, was one of several that he operated in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, was closed in 2014.
