HHS reports 135 sexual misconduct incidents involving ‘unaccompanied alien minors’

On Friday, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released details of sexual misconduct involving unaccompanied alien minors in care-provider facilities, documenting more than 100 substantiated incidents from mid-2015 through the end of 2017.

At least 135 incidents were substantiated by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), a division of the HHS, with the vast majority involving offenses by an unaccompanied child against another, the HHS report said. Between June 24, 2015, and December 31, 2017, at least 12 of those incidents were committed by “care provider” staff – a term referring to contractors, employees, foster parents, and volunteers in ORR-funded facilities, the department said.

“ORR takes allegations of sexual abuse extremely seriously, and requires extraordinarily comprehensive reporting by all its care provider programs,” Caroline Thorman, a spokesperson for Administration for Children and Families (ACF), which houses the Office of Refugee Resettlement, told Fox News. ACF clarified that care provider staff doesn’t include any federal employees.

According to the reports, the agency responded by referring two care-provider staff members for prosecution. Two were arrested, including one who received 10 years in prison for attempting to coerce or entice an unaccompanied child to engage in illicit sexual activity.
