30 October 2006
Daily Law Notes Summary
Pitcairn Island had been a British possession for over 100 years
and, given its state of development and the islanders’ knowledge
of the criminality of serious sexual offences, there had been no
abuse of process in prosecuting certain Pitcairn Island men for
offences of rape, indecent assault and incest under the Sexual
Offences Act 1956.
