Jeriah Mast, 38, faces seven charges in Ohio of gross sexual imposition, and is also wanted in Haiti for sexually abusing minors.
"Jeriah spent hours on his face weeping and wailing over his sins and feeling such remorse over the hurt he caused so many people," the Ministry Team wrote in a statement on the front page of the church's website. A new ministry team has been working for Christian Aid Ministries in Haiti since the allegations, and is being overseen by different staff at its Ohio headquarters, Flores added. The organization said it was planning to provide updated training to its employees on"how to take more effective action should they become aware of inappropriate behavior or abuse," according to a September 20 update from the board of directors.
