UN police in Haiti accused of sexual abuse again

The United Nations says it is investigating two alleged cases of sexual exploitation of children by UN staff in Haiti.

“The UN Secretariat regrets to confirm that, on 16 January 2012, the UN mission in Haiti, Minustah, alerted headquarters about two allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse involving minors in Haiti,” Mr Nesirky said.

The suspected officers have been removed from their duties while the investigation is under way.
