Haiti - Human Predators Stalk Haiti's Vulnerable Kids

[i.b.nora]

Does everyone know that a Jorge A. Puello and his wife (wife, not girlfriend) had a house in Broward County, Florida that was foreclosed on? And there is a foreclosure sale on March 4, 2010?

If you check out a map of the North Coast of the DR, you'll see that Sosua (where Puello brags about being President of the Sephardic Community), Puerto Plata (where Duarte was arrested for sex abuse and held for extradition), Magante (where Silsby originally planned to build or "manifest" her orphanage), and Cabarete (Silsby's Plan B/rent from the Catholics--see Duarte).

Remind anyone of Joni Mitchell's "The Circle Game"?

"We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game"

i.b.nora--(I'm kidding here.) Why yes, we all knew that and we were just waiting for you to find it on your own!! LOL

I did note in the link that TM posted that he and his "life partner" were in some trouble. I've also seen her described as his common law wife and a partner in the trafficking scheme. I've wondered if she's the procurer? All good pimps have one. Hmmm

Kind of an interesting piece about Sosua:

Sosua was a Jewish Refugee Camp

[Missizzy]

I think this ties in with the translated version that TM posted above. My head is starting (starting???) to spin with the names:

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miam...y/1477970.html

"Alejandro Puello -- who said he is licensed to practice law in the Dominican Republic -- said he challenged his cousin when he learned Torres Puello was lending legal advice to the American church group.

``I said, `Jorge, how, if you're not a lawyer?' '' he said. ``He told me, `I hired a lawyer for them in Haiti.' ''

During the press conference Friday in El Salvador, police said they will seek Torres Puello's extradition if evidence shows he is indeed the fugitive and accused child trafficker Torres Orellana.

ORELLANA'S CHARGES

Charges were filed last year against Torres Orellana after three young girls escaped captivity and led police to the house where they had previously been held.

Also charged was Ana Josefa Galvarina Ramirez Orellana. Though it is not clear how Torres Orellana escaped, Ramirez was convicted of trafficking humans between El Salvador, the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua."

Oh yeah, the girlfriend is in prison.

[Missizzy]

i.b.nora--I'm confused about the woman listed on the foreclosure and Ana Josefa. Which is Puello's life partner? Or is that the most naive/stupid question in the world?

Just as I said that the Mohler blog taught me so much about the history of Mormonism and the Texas Serial Rapist caused me to learn everything I could about pendulum clocks and the current street value of mounted deer heads, I'd have to say I'm getting quite an education about the history of Jews in the Dominican Republic. Don't EVER let anyone tell you that we aren't expanding our brains!!

[Missizzy]

So Martha T. Puello is the wife. I wonder if she knows about the life partner, Ana, who's in jail? Anything else Mr. Puello has been keeping under his hat?

[i.b.nora]

My understanding is that Ana Josefa Galvarina Ramírez Orellana is the girlfriend or partner in crime. If you put Martha's name in Google, you will come up with some other information that identifies her as the wife of Jorge A. Puello. Since she so far isn't accused of anything, I will leave it at that.

[Missizzy]

I know we've looked at this article but I hadn't seen the name of Mr. Puello's wife before. Do they amend these articles or was this there and I just missed it?


From the NY Times article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/wo...13adviser.html

"Asked about his identity, Mr. Puello said that he had been married to Valerie Velasquez and that their home address in the United States had been in Plantation, Fla. Public documents and court records seem to tie, by name and birth date, Mr. Puello and the Florida street address to the suspect in the Salvadoran case."

and

"On May 26, 2009, the Salvadoran police said they had uncovered a well-organized sex trafficking ring, arresting Ana Josefa Galvarina Ramírez Orellana, who remains in prison, and charging a male suspect who is at large.

The suspect was working with Pablo Nasser, the former deputy director of the Salvadoran immigration service, to get the foreign women and girls into El Salvador, the authorities said."

[i.b.nora]

That info has been there about Valerie Velasquez. But, I could never find a Puello in Plantation, but today, after the new info, there are Puellos in (and around) Miami. Actually, come to think of it, I need to see where Plantation is. I need to relook at all of that. Gotta eat first.

[Missizzy]

I'd also like to point out the obvious that it sure doesn't appear to me that Silsby was picking children for the express purpose of sexual exploitation or even for adoption. Not sure about Mr. Puello. She would have gone for the prettiest pre-teens or the cutest babies, if that's what she was going for. I'm so confused by her motives.

When we adopted from Haiti, believe it or not, there was a much longer wait for children with lighter skin (the term is "Mulatto" in Haiti, but no longer used in the US). We did not care about he color of our daughter's skin so had to wait only 10 months.

Petionville, which is in the hills above Port au Prince is where the Mulatto families live and there is a very strong caste system in place. I found it very offensive as we were even told that a light skinned guide would cost us more. As if we cared!! We just wanted a good guide. My Lord, most of our family is black. I was very taken back by the inherent focus on skin tone within the country.

BTW, I can't find much about MPuello that is translated. I'm afraid I'm missing something. And who is Valerie Velasquez? How many wives does this guy have? Sephardic Jews don't believe in plural marriage. He's not re-inventing it, is he, to his own purposes as he did with his Presidency?

[Missizzy]

Plantation, FL is 29 miles north of Miami, in Broward County.

[i.b.nora]

I found a Valerie Velasquez in Broward County, maybe now in Sunrise, Florida. Anyhow, she was married to a Jorge Torres and she filed for divorce in 2005.

The parents of a self-styled lawyer advising Americans jailed in Haiti said he's the same person wanted for child trafficking in El Salvador.

Posted on Saturday, 02.13.10

<snip>

The mother and stepfather of Jorge Anibal Torres Puello told The Miami Herald in an extensive interview Saturday the fugitive wanted by Salvadoran police was their son, who has been advising the church volunteers in the unfolding legal drama.

``That's him,'' a teary Ana Puello said from her modest home in the outskirts of Santo Domingo. ``But those things they say about him, I doubt they're true . . . He told me, `Mami, I swear I didn't.' He would never hurt a child.''

Though his wife was convicted in the case, Torres Puello left the country -- wanted by Salvadoran police -- before ending up in Haiti.
