	Charity Clothing Haitian Witnesses in Sex Abuse Case By Mike Patrick Waterbury Republican-America December 9, 2010 http://www.rep-am.com/articles/2010/12/09/news/local/525722.txt WATERBURY — A local charity is helping a number of young Haitian men who will arrive in Connecticut this month to testify at the sentencing of the school director who they say sexually abused them. Acts 4 Ministry is providing winter coats and other warm clothing for the six men who will speak of their victimization at the Dec. 21 sentencing hearing of Douglas Perlitz, a 1992 graduate of Fairfield University who pleaded guilty in August to sexually abusing one boy at the Project Pierre Toussaint school in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, where he was director. Many more boys have said he coerced them into sex acts with gifts and threatened to expel them if they refused. "The International Institute of Connecticut reached out to us," said Laura Coffin, executive director of Acts 4 Ministry, which provides free clothing and other items to the needy in Greater Waterbury.
