The Ministry for the Status of Women and Women’s Rights (MCFDF) has expressed deep outrage following reports that a 16-year-old girl was allegedly raped by Sévère Aly, a Haitian National Police (PNH) officer stationed in Saint-Marc. The incident, which occurred in July 2025, has drawn widespread condemnation from government officials and the public alike. Minister Pedrica Saint-Jean, speaking on behalf of the MCFDF, strongly denounced the act, emphasizing the betrayal of trust by a public servant sworn to protect citizens. The Ministry has called on the PNH and the Ministry of Justice to take immediate administrative and legal actions to ensure the perpetrator is held accountable under the 2005 Decree on sexual assault. The Haitian National Police has confirmed that Officer Aly is currently a fugitive and that a warrant for his arrest has been issued. The Inspector General’s Office has been notified, and the PNH High Command has reiterated its zero-tolerance policy for ethical or legal violations. The institution has pledged full cooperation with the justice system to ensure accountability and uphold the rule of law. The case has sparked calls for systemic reforms to prevent such abuses of power in the future.
