WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HOME AFFAIRS BY DEPUTY T.M. PITMAN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 18th JUNE 2013

Question

Since police investigations began in 2007 in relation to historic abuse can the Minister advise if there have been any cases investigated by the States of Jersey Police where abuse was alleged by both another perpetrator of abuse and corroborated by a victim yet no prosecution was then brought and, if so, what was the reason for this?

Answer

The investigations which began in 2007 in relation to historical abuse are both voluminous and complex. Deputy Trevor Pitman, on the afternoon of 13th June 2013, in response to a request from the Minister, gave the name of the relevant accused person. However, despite this, it has not been possible to produce an answer by noon on Monday 17th June 2013.

The Minister will provide an answer as soon as possible but that answer will anonymise the details.
