A 61-year-old American Christian missionary has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing minors as young as 11 in the orphanage that he ran in Kenya.

He was running the orphanage with his wife.

61-year-old Gregory Dow, the American national, pleaded guilty during the trial on Monday to 4 charges of illicit sexual conduct with minors at the Dow Family Children’s Home in Kenya.

Mary Rose Dow, the wife of Gregory, took 4 kids, who are between 11 and 13, to a clinic to get contraceptive implants without their consent.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Stengel said that Dow was “able to perpetrate these crimes without fear that the abuse would result in pregnancy.”

The 61-year-old moved to Kenya in 2008 from the United States of America with his wife and their 6 kids so they could set up the children’s house in the town of Boito in the western Kenyan district of Bomet County.

According to local news agencies, the 61-year-old freak will ask the young girls that he sexually assaulted to call him “Dad”.

The FBI reported that the man used his position of power to prey on minors so he could satisfy his sexual needs.

In 2017, 2 of the young victims escaped and spoke out about the physical and sexual abuse that they suffered there.

However, when the authorities came there, the orphanage had already closed and the owners had fled.

Mary Rose Dow, the wife of Gregory, was arrested by the police near Nairobi and was jailed by the authorities for 5 months after being found guilty in child cruelty.

Dow fled to the United States of America, however he was arrested in 2019 after Kenyan Women in the US (KWITU), an organization, petitioned for his arrest and his ex-wife Janice Jenkins came out to say he had also sexually molested their eldest daughter.

Gregory Dow was sentenced to spend 15 years and 8 months in prison following an investigation and trial.

After he spends his time in jail, he will be required to register as a sex offender.
