Sciaf said it had dealt ‘decisively’ with the cases
A Scottish Catholic aid charity has said it has dealt with two cases of alleged sexual abuse of children.
The Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (Sciaf) said it dealt with the issues “decisively” and reassured supporters it had strong safeguarding procedures.
One case involved the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl by a Burundian man who had volunteered for a local partner organisation. The other involved an Ethiopian man who was a junior staff member at the time. He is accused of sexually assaulting a boy aged under 16.
Sciaf said that neither of the alleged victims were being helped by the charity at the time.
