OHIO
An Ohio man was sentenced today to seven years in prison for sexually abusing three Honduran minors, according to authorities.
Corey L. Bryant, 26, of Norton, Ohio, was a volunteer at two different homeless ministries in Honduras that provided housing and supportive services for impoverished children.
Bryant admitted that between August 2011 and November 2014, he traveled between the United States and Honduras 10 times. Bryant said that while serving as a resident volunteer at one of these ministries and teaching fourth grade at a local private school, he repeatedly sexually abused three Honduran minors who resided at these ministries.
On Aug. 7, Bryant pleaded guilty to three counts of engaging in illicit sexual conduct abroad as a U.S. citizen.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Homeland Security Investigations Cleveland Field Office investigated this case, officials indicated.
