Lawyer in Haiti Case Wanted for Trafficking Woman & Children

While Haiti is in trouble after the earthquake and everyone is coming to our rescue it's sad to say that there are also sexual predators on the loose looking to cash in on our misery.

Is it possible that, since the Haiti earthquake of January 12, there may be Haitian women and children held hostage in prostitution rings around the world?

Let us hope not.

Here is the news posted on the Washington Post from The Associated Press:

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Dominican police have arrested a fugitive who acted as the lawyer for U.S. missionaries accused of kidnapping 33 Haitian children.

Jorge Puello initially served as the group's legal adviser and spokesman but authorities later said he was wanted for trafficking women and children in the U.S. and El Salvador.

My question is:

Assuming that these missionaries had good intention to help these children in Haiti, why would they hire a man as their lawyer who is wanted for trafficking women and children in the U.S. and El Salvador?
