The St Helena child abuse scandal refers to child abuse cases in St Helena. Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the Department for International Development (DFID) has been accused of lying to the United Nation over endemic child abuse in St Helena to cover up allegations, including a case of a police officer having raped a four-year-old girl and another police officer having mutilated a two-year-old.
The British government admits it made an “erroneous” report to the United Nations when it denied that child abuse was rife in St Helena.
