Judge Bélabre, serving at the Court of First Instance in Port-au-Prince, has come under scrutiny by the CSPJ following a complaint filed against him on January 7, 2025, regarding a case of sexual assault against a minor that he was handling. During a statutory meeting of CSPJ councilors held on Thursday, January 16, it was decided to place Judge Bélabre on leave for a three-month period while awaiting "his appearance before the disciplinary tribunal, which will make a final decision on his case."
