US missionary jailed for sex crimes in Kenya orphanage

A US man has been sentenced to more than 15 years in prison for abusing underage girls in an orphanage in Kenya.

Christian missionary Gregory Dow set up the orphanage with his wife in 2008.

“Gregory Dow was the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing,” said the FBI’s Michael Driscoll.

Last year, Dow pleaded guilty in the US to four counts of engaging in illicit sexual conduct with a minor in a foreign place.

The orphanage was partly funded by churches in Lancaster county in the US state of Pennsylvania and was in operation for almost a decade before Dow fled in 2017.
