One of the world’s leading experts on humanitarian work with street children and children affected by war has been arrested on pedophilia charges.
Canadian humanitarian worker Peter Dalglish, who helped found the charity Street Kids International, was taken in by police in Nepal on Sunday (April 8), Xinhua news agency reported.
The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) of Nepal Police said they wanted to question Dalglish over claims he was involved in pedophile activities in Kavre district, around 50 kilometers north of the capital, Kathmandu.
An initial investigation claims the 60-year-old had offered children foreign trips and better education before sexually abusing them.
My Republica reported that two children, aged 12 and 14, had allegedly been abused by Dalglish and rescued by authorities.
CIB chief and Deputy Inspector General of Police, Pushkar Karki, said that an organization outside the country had tipped off the police about Dalglish.
