American Man Wanted in Kenya for Sexually Assaulting Minors Speaks
An American citizen who is wanted by Kenyan authorities over accusations of sexually assaulting underage children says he did not commit the alleged crimes.
Gregory Dow from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is said to have committed the crimes in Boito, Bomet County, where he ran a home for orphaned and underprivileged children since 2008.
Dow, who has previously been convicted with sex-crime in the United States, fled Kenya in 2017 after an arrest warrant was issued against him for allegedly taking advantage of children at the sanctuary.
Two girls, who were victims of Dow, recorded reports with police claiming that he would occasionally summon them and would get upset when they refused his advances.
His wife, Mary Rose Dow, was arrested while attempting to leave Kenya and was found guilty of having girls at the home implanted with birth-control devices. She left the country after paying a court fine.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Kenya says an arrest warrant for the 59-year-old is still active and Kenyan authorities are seeking to extradite him to face the charges.
"The international warrant will be sent to the U.S. via diplomatic channels,” Kenya's DCI told LNP.
However, Dow maintains he is innocent saying: “There’s not much I can do. I know the truth. They made the accusations falsely, and they got out of hand.”
Dow, who is currently living in Manheim, says the man who sold him the land where their orphanage was built fixed him in a bid to get his property back. He says the man coached some girls to lie that he sexually assaulted them.
“It’s sad to say we live in a society where people are guilty until proven innocent,” he says.
“My life was in danger, and I knew it,” Dow says on the reason why he fled Kenya.

Guilty people don't run and I hope this pervert is extradited to face justice. Further, any foreigner coming into contact with our children should have a thorough, very THOROUGH background check done. Why did they let the wife go? Clearly, she was an accomplice who helped make sure the toddlers and young young girls had birth control devices implanted. Sickening.

Tusiongee tu saa ile foreigner naharibu watoto yetu lakini Kama watu yetu wakihusika sisi nanyamaza. Mara taskia baba nashika mtoto yiake, mara jamaa nashika mtoto ya mwaka moja na hakuna mtu naongea, as if that's very normal. Sasa hapa utaona kila mtu napayuka kutoa maoni ya upuzi tu. We need to condemn these animals hata kama they are foreigners, local or whatever.

Ni muhimu tubadilishe misimamo yetu juu ya mambo yafuatayo:
1. Ni lazima wanaume na wanawake wakubaliane kuheshimu uhusiano wa ngono baina yao. Watoto wengi wanabaki mayatima (orphans) wazazi wanapokufa kutokana na ugonjwa huu. Dawa ya ukimwi (HIV-Aids) ni kuheshimu mambo ya kujikinga kwa kutofanya mawindo ya ngono nje ya uhusiano wa mwanamke na mwanamume.
2. Ni lazima tupunguze uzazi. Mume na mke wasizae zaidi ya watoto wawili. Pengine tumefikia kiwango ambacho mke na mume baada ya kuoana waamue (decide) kuzaa mtoto mmoja tu au kutozaa mtoto yeyote.
3. Tabia ya wanaume kuoa zaidi ya mke mmoja yakomeshwe.
4. Tabia ya mwanamke aliyeolewa kumwoa mke mwingine pia yakomeshwe. Dada zetu Wakamba wana tabia ya mwanamke aliyeolewa kumwoa (to marry) mwanamke mwingine na huyu mwanamke kuendelea kuzaa watoto. Wakamba wanamwita mwanamke huyu "iweeto."
Tukibadilisha misimamo yetu kwa mambo kama niliyoandika hapo awali, watu kutoka nje hawatapata nafasi ya kuja Kenya kuwalea watoto wetu ambao ni mayatima (orphans) kutokana na tabia mbaya za watu wazima.
