Former Missionary Pleads Guilty in Haiti Abuse Case | Global News

Former Ohio missionary Jeriah Mast has pleaded guilty to federal charges of sexually abusing two boys in Haiti, facing at least 25 years in prison.

With sentencing set for December 15, prosecutors say this agreement marks a crucial step toward accountability.
