Translated from a French article, excerpts:
American Catholic priest accused of sexually assaulting young boy in Les Cayes
An American Catholic priest is accused of having raped in 2009 a young Haitian man aged twelve at the time of the facts in an orphanage in Les Cayes. On September 25, Father Marc Roméo Boisvert who lives in the United States must appear before a court in the jurisdiction of Les Cayes to answer questions from the courts in the context of this case...A letter sent in 2013 to Bishop Chibly Langlois and published online referred to this “allegation of sexual misconduct” to the “Pwojè Espwa” led by Boisvert and which welcomed 600 children and young adults.
..A new wind is blowing in Pwojè Espwa. The new strategy of the mission is to “develop the child and preserve the family”. Father Boisvert accused of pedophilia is no longer in the game. “He was separated from the organization in 2018 and has no authority or responsibility in the organization,” says Milou L'hérisson, the new CEO of Espwa.
That letter to Bishop Langlois: Bishop of Diocese of Orange – parish employee child sexual abuse in Haiti
I am writing to you with a sense of urgency regarding Dee Orlowski, an employee of Santiago de Compostela Church, located within your diocese in Lake Forest, California... http://www.santiagocatholicchurch.org/staff/
Please take immediate action to stop Ms. Orlowski from continuing to obstruct justice by her failure to report to church and law enforcement authorities about alleged sexual misconduct by a Catholic priest and a 12 year old Haitian boy at Pwoje Espwa in Les Cayes, Haiti...Ms. Orlowski has known for many years that Fr. Marc Boisvert, O.M.I. has been accused of engaging in inappropriate sexual misconduct with children. ... Child protection advocates are now raising serious questions about the methods by which an investigation was conducted at Pwoje Espwa concerning a child’s statement that the child slept with Fr. Boisvert in Fr. Boisvert’s bed.
Ms. Orlowski is resisting all efforts to get to the truth. In fact, her passive aggressive attitude is downright hostile. Ms. Orlowski is identified on the Santiago de Compostela Church web site as the parish’s Facilities and Events Manager...By way of background, Ms. Orlowski is a long time officer of the non-profit group (www.freethekids.org) that operates Pwoje Espwa. She leads groups and travels to Haiti on a regular basis. In addition, Ms. Orlowski raises money from Santiago de Compostela parishioners on behalf of Free the Kids.

Orphanage struggles amid Haitian crisis - https://archive.is/xl8GK
Free the Kids, a charity that supports Pwoje Espwa (Project Hope), a Haitian orphanage, has set a goal to raise $12,000 in 24 hours on Tuesday, Dec. 3...The newspaper reported that weeks of unrest, rampant corruption and economic malaise have led to soaring prices, disintegration of public services and a sense of insecurity and lawlessness....
Jack Reynolds, an elder at Fountain Hills Presbyterian Church supporting the orphanage, said armed gangs breached the security wall twice and robbed the staff and children of cell phones, food and cash. Noon Kiwanis Club, Four Peaks and Fountain Hills Rotary Clubs raised funds in the community to feed the youngsters.
Reynolds, a member of the Free the Kids’ board of directors; Kenneth J. Brown, then-associate pastor of Presbyterian Church, and Roger Bates visited Pwoje Espwa in January 2017. Reynolds said his most recent visit was last January. Reynolds’ brother-in-law, Catholic priest Father Marc Boisvert, had supervised the compound until his retirement last year because of health issues. He now lives in Florida.

MORRIS AND DESOI ARE CONCEALING INFORMATION ABOUT ALLEGED CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AT PWOJE ESPWA SUD, AN ORPHANAGE IN HAITI.
ATTORNEY ROBERT MORRIS IS A PARTNER AT THE PORTLAND, MAINE LAW FIRM, IRWIN TARDY & MORRIS. http://www.itmlaw.com
CYNTHIA A. DESOI, MD IS A PARTNER AT NEPHROLOGY ASSOCIATES IN LEWISTON, MAINE. http://www.nephrologyassociatesme.com
MORRIS AND DESOI ARE CONCEALING INFORMATION ABOUT ALLEGED CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AT PWOJE ESPWA SUD, AN ORPHANAGE IN HAITI. THE ORPHANAGE’S DIRECTOR IS CATHOLIC PRIEST AND LEWISTON NATIVE, FR. MARC BOISVERT.
Attorney Morris is a member of the U.S. Board of Directors of Free the Kids/Pwoje Espwa Sud, a 600 child orphanage located in Les Cayes, Haiti. Dr. DeSoi, a former long time Espwa board member, serves as Pwoje Espwa’s volunteer medical director.
It seems that this orphanage is the largest of its kind in Haiti.

Please give generally to the following non-profit organizations.- Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate
Born in Lewiston, Maine Father Marc Boisvert, OMI, is of French-Canadian descent. He graduated from the University of Maine with a B.A. in Philosophy, receiving his Master's degree from Weston School of Theology. He took his first vows in 1978 and final vows in 1983. After ordination on May 26, 1984, he worked in France, and after some time returned home to America to work with parishes on the U.S.'s east coast. In 1990, Fr. Marc joined the U.S. Navy and was sent to Okinawa, Japan as a chaplain with the U.S. Marine Corps. He was deployed to serve in Desert Shield/Desert Storm, later returning to complete his tour of duty in Okinawa. His next tour of duty took him to Mayport, Florida. Speaking fluent French made Fr. Marc an ideal candidate for a temporary assignment in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to work with Haitian refugees.
.Under the direction of Joseph J. Randazzo, American Film Studios and its home team are in full support of Father Marc and all who are involved with THEO'S WORK both here at home, and overseas.
According to their website they have produced some major Hollywood films: http://americanfilmstudios.us/aboutus.html
This is a list of their Board of Advisors which I have not looked into because the whole website felt 'off' https://archive.is/wip/MSZYL
And someone says that he was cheated out of money by that company: https://archive.is/wip/y99y1
My two partners and I have been victims of a fraud scheme that has been operating with us, since 2016, but with others far longer. Joseph Randazzo and P.J. Garcia have orchestrated an investment fraud scam scheme, operating with the intent to deceive and defraud, investors like us in Los Angeles and Orange County. I am a Los Angeles resident who is the writer, producer and director of a movie we will call TW.
So, was this company really connected with the Haitian orphanage? I don't know.
