Seraphim Hayes was an Orthodox Layman and convert to the Orthodox Church when he came to our attention from Orthodox Christians who had visited St. Anthony’s Monastery in AZ. Many people shared the same spiritual father (Fr. Paisios) with Hayes.
According to court documents, he changed his name legally From Randall David Hayes to Seraphim Hayes. He has a history of inappropriate contact with young girls, which is documented in the case information at the Superior Court of AZ (Mariposa County). This information is public record. Unfortunately the mother of an 8-year-old girl was unaware of this history before she married him. Seraphim, who appeared to be a very devout Orthodox Christian Convert, was able to gain access to this little girl when he became her stepfather. He used every opportunity, including capitalizing on the fact that the girl’s mother (his wife) was hearing impaired, to gain access to this little girl and sexually abuse her.
Seraphim Hayes was arrested on 9 counts, which included kidnapping. But he was only convicted on the following two counts.
Offenses
Count 1: Sexual Abuse
Second Degree A.R.S
Date of Offense: On or about August 15, 2001 and December 25, 2001
On this count the defendant was sentenced to Four Years imprisonment and was committed to the AZ Department of Corrections.
Count 5 (Amended) Attempted Molestation of a child Class 3 Felony and Dangerous Crime against children in the second degree.
Date of Offense: On or about January 20 2001 to January 20, 2002.
On this count the defendant received LIFETIME probation including a requirement to register as a Sex Offender.
To the best of our knowledge, Hayes has completed his prison sentence. He is not listed on the AZ Sex Offender Registry as required. Pokrov also did a nationwide search and it appears he is not listed anywhere. Please contact Pokrov if you know of his whereabouts.
