SHREVEPORT — A 23-year-old Louisiana man has been charged in federal court for allegedly engaging in sexual conduct with minors while working with a ministry organization in Haiti.

Court documents say Maylon Foshee, of Mansfield, traveled to Haiti multiple times between 2023 and while working with a ministry organization in Gonaives, a coastal city in Haiti. During that time, he allegedly engaged in sexual conduct with several minor victims under his care, including minors who lived with him or received financial support from him.

In August, investigators interviewed three minor victims who described incidents of alleged sexual abuse that occurred while Foshee housed or supervised them in Haiti.

Foshee faces up to 30 years in federal prison if convicted, according to the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Louisiana and the FBI.

The FBI investigated the case. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Cheyenne Y. Wilson, with assistance from Legal Assistant Amanda Morgan.

The case is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse.
