A former pastor, Corrigan Clay, 43, living in Pittsburgh was arrested on March 10 by federal agents after being charged with having sex with a minor in Haiti from January 2014 to December 2017.

Clay and his ex-wife had co-founded "The Apparent Project" which had the mission of training artisans to create art from waste in Haiti with the stated aim of stimulating the Haitian economy and helping poor children in Haiti. The couple had adopted two orphans and opened an evangelical kindergarten.

The case is being prosecuted by the Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section of the Justice Department.

Corrigan Clay was scheduled to appear in Pittsburgh court Tuesday, March 15, for a detention hearing, but the case was pushed back to Monday, March 21 at the request of his lawyer.
