Christian charity says its managers knew for years one of their missionaries admitted to abusing children

A Christian nonprofit has stated that two managers knew for years that an employee had confessed to a history of sexual offenses against minors but still allowed him to serve their organization as a missionary to Haiti.

Jeriah Mast, 38, from Millersburg, Ohio was indicted in a Holmes County court on July 3 with seven felony charges of gross sexual imposition and seven misdemeanor charges of sexual imposition.

Those crimes, which according to court documents allegedly involved children under the ages of 16 and some under 13, took place in Ohio between 1998 and 2008, Holmes County Prosecutor Sean Warner said. Mast pleaded not guilty to all charges, his lawyer John Johnson Jr. told NBC News.

Mast also faces allegations of sexually abusing minors during his time serving Christian Aid Ministries in Haiti, according to the Berlin, Ohio-based nonprofit/

Hemant Mehta makes a very pertinent point concerning the two men (Paul and Eli Weaver) Mast allegedly admitted his indiscretions to,,,

But what the hell is happening with the Weavers? What about the organization that allowed Mast to go back to Haiti knowing he was an alleged predator?

CAM says both men are now on administrative leave and an investigation is taking place. But beyond that, they haven’t said much. The board of directors say they knew nothing about the situation before this past May, which would mean one missionary and two leaders knew about Mast’s rampant child abuse yet that information never made it back to the higher-ups… which suggests a complete lack of oversight in this place.
