A convicted sex offender went on to establish an orphanage in Kenya
where he preyed on children under the guise of missionary work,
according to federal prosecutors who announced Friday that he was being
charged with sexually molesting four teenage girls.
Gregory Dow,
60, of Lancaster, is accused of four counts of violating a U.S. law
against sexual contact with minors in foreign countries, U.S. Attorney
William McSwain said. There likely are other victims, investigators
said, but tracking the children who lived in the orphanage has been
difficult.
Dow is accused of abuse from 2013 until 2017, when
prosecutors say he fled back to the United States to avoid prosecution
in Kenya. The Dow Family Children’s Home in Boito, in a rural area west
of Nairobi, closed in September 2017.
