"One of the great difficulties in this case is how to reconcile the Douglas Perlitz who is described in such exceptional and glowing terms in those letters with the Douglas Perlitz who has admitted engaging in sexual misconduct," the attorney wrote."HLLN stresses that, for the minor boys Perlitz abused over a period of 10-years and the voiceless Haiti community, both at home and abroad, Perlitz was a thug and the worst of all possible predators. He preyed on poor, homeless boys with no ability to defend themselves. He use funds raised in their names to barter for sex and take away these small children's childhood and innocence. Douglas Perlitz cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be viewed as the "face of Christ on Earth." That is simply not only slanderous to the great Nazarene but calculating, indecent, mendacious and shameless. The only regret Douglas Perlitz seem to have is that he got caught.
In fact, at Ezili's HLLN we wonder how many
other poor Haiti boys, besides the eight boys and the up to 13 minors
the prosecutors say they can prove Perlitz molested were victims who
were bribed not to speak out. Mr. Perlitz was so remorseless, so
merciless, so arrogant in his abuse that he actually continued to be
with the victims by having them be brought to him in the neighboring
Dominican Republic, after a warrant for his arrest was issued in Haiti
and he couldn't risk getting caught in Haiti. Court documents also show
evidence of odious and vindictive behavior such as victim bribery,
threats, cover-up and witness tampering on Mr. Perlitz's part.
Folks,
it's critical that the Ezili Network makes ramps up the letter writing
to Judge Arterton asking for the maximum sentence and a stop to this
detestable attempt to circumvent responsibility and avoid justice.
Also,
those in East coast, please consider attending the court hearing as
part of the Network delegation in to lend the Douglas victims your
moral support.
