Jean Claude Alfred, a 68-year-old Haitian native who naturalized in 1994, is facing denaturalization after being convicted of sexual abuse of his minor daughter. Alfred began repeatedly sexually abusing his daughter in September 1993, approximately one month before filing his naturalization application, and continued the abuse during his naturalization proceedings. During naturalization, Alfred falsely represented under oath that he had not committed any unreported crimes. A Florida jury convicted him in 1996 of attempted sexual battery and lewd assault upon a child. The Department of Justice alleges he illegally procured citizenship through false testimony and concealment of material facts.
