how widespread is sexual abuse there ?
is sexual abuse more common in there society ?
Huh?
I’ve always been fascinated by Pitcairn. I guess it has the same sexual problems faced by many isolated communities, but I’ve not heard anything especially about Pitcairn Is. Do you have a link to a news story, or something?
The sex abuse charges were based on a completely different set of cultural vaulues? – That Mr. Christian dude.
Who the hell is he kidding? If it’s against the law, you’re in trouble!
Perhaps, but I found this comment
A bit troubling. Perhaps it’s not an unusual phrasing for one who speaks the Queen’s English, but to my 'Merkin ears “justice is done to everyone” sounds like they’re promising that folks are going to meet “Bubba” in the shower.
Ironic that an island populated by mutineers is a territory of Great Britain.
