News about Joseph Vincent

Joseph Vincent (pictured top right), a dual Haitian-American citizen who lived in the United States and attended meetings in South Florida and Haiti ahead of the assassination, is the fourth of 11 defendants in Miami to plead guilty. On charges including murder and kidnap of a person outside of the United States, as well as a conspiracy to murder and kidnap a person outside of the United States, and a pledge to provide material assistance and resources, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. Authorities say that approximately 20 Colombian civilians and several dual Haitian-American civilians were involved in the plot. The conspirators had intended to kidnap the Haitian president but later decided to execute him. Investigators suspect the plotters hoped to gain jobs under Mo's successor.

Saifullah Khan, 30, was barred from raping a female student in her dorm on Halloween night in 2015. The matter has since rumbled through Connecticut courts, culminating in a recent decision in June in which jurists found that the then 21-year-old woman is not exempt from a defamation lawsuit. In a court of law, Khan, a member of the class of 2016 who was suspended for the allegations, was not guilty of the suspected rape. Following his exoneration - which occurred during America's #MeToo campaign - Khan was admitted as a full-time student in 2018, but the student body suffered along the way. Barely a month later, another student, one of Khan's key supporters and a former intimate partner, came forward to claim Khan slapped him during a consensual threesome in Washington, D.C. in June of 2018. Those allegations led to Khan being suspended again and eventually dismissed in January 2019 after the school deemed him "responsible" for the other suspect's assault despite no conviction. The decision came more than three years since the suspected assault was first announced and opened Khan's latest lawsuit, which has since been approved and demanded $110 million from the school in damages.
