佛罗里达州传教士被控在海地性剥削未成年人,遭联邦大陪审团起诉

美国司法部2026年11月12日宣布,佛罗里达州南区联邦大陪审团起诉佛罗里达州 Fort Myers 传教士 Thomas Osbeck,70岁,指控他在海地对未成年人实施及企图实施非法性行为。

据法庭文件,Osbeck 在过去三十年间经常从美国前往海地,在当地性侵未成年人。他先后创办 Jesus in Haiti Ministries 与 Ignite Your Faith Ministries,通过这两个机构在海地各地收容弱势儿童。

起诉书所控事实包括:Osbeck 在2004年至2008年间性侵一名海地男童,该男童当时约8至12岁;2019年至2020年间,他又企图对另一名海地男童实施商业性交易行为。

2026年9月底,Osbeck 经海地当局调查后在海地被拘留;10月14日,他被送回美国,在 Miami 国际机场落地时被美国执法人员逮捕,此后一直在押。调查人员认为可能还有其他儿童受害,呼吁知情者联系联邦调查局(FBI)。

司法部刑事司助理部长 A. Tysen Duva、佛罗里达州南区代理联邦检察官 Yara Lorenzo Klukas 与联邦调查局(FBI)Miami 办公室主管 Brett D. Skiles 共同宣布这一指控。本案由联邦调查局(FBI)Miami 办公室调查,司法部儿童剥削与淫秽处审判律师 Jessica L. Urban 与助理联邦检察官 Abbie D. Waxman 负责起诉,案号为26-cr-20468;本案属司法部「儿童安全项目」(Project Safe Childhood)的一部分。起诉书只是一项指控,被告在法庭上被证明有罪之前均属无罪。(来源:美国司法部)

Florida Missionary Indicted on Charges of Sexually Exploiting Minors in Haiti

The U.S. Department of Justice announced on November 12, 2026, that a federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida returned an indictment charging Thomas Osbeck, 70, of Fort Myers, Florida, with engaging in, and attempting to engage in, illicit sexual conduct with minors in Haiti.

According to court documents, Osbeck routinely traveled from the United States to Haiti over the past three decades and sexually abused minors in that country. He was the founder of Jesus in Haiti Ministries and later Ignite Your Faith Ministries, through which he took in vulnerable children throughout the country.

The charges in the indictment are based on his sexual abuse of a Haitian boy between approximately 2004 and 2008, when the boy was approximately 8 through 12 years old, and his attempt to engage in a commercial sex act around 2019-2020 with another Haitian boy.

Osbeck was taken into custody in Haiti at the end of September 2026 after an investigation by Haitian authorities, and was returned to the United States on October 14, where he was arrested by U.S. law enforcement upon landing at Miami International Airport. He has remained in custody since that time. Investigators believe Osbeck may have victimized additional children and encourage anyone with information to contact the FBI.

Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department's Criminal Division, Acting U.S. Attorney Yara Lorenzo Klukas for the Southern District of Florida, and Special Agent in Charge Brett D. Skiles of the FBI Miami Field Office made the announcement. FBI Miami is investigating the case. Trial Attorney Jessica L. Urban of the Criminal Division's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section and Assistant U.S. Attorney Abbie D. Waxman for the Southern District of Florida are prosecuting the case, No. 26-cr-20468, which was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. An indictment is merely an allegation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
