▫️Ex-detention centre worker faces serious sex charges
A former youth detention centre worker has been charged with serious sexual offences after investigations stemming from an inquiry into child abuse in government institutions.
The 64-year-old Tasmanian man has been accused of 11 counts of rape, three counts of indecent assault and two counts of indecency. The charges relate to three victim-survivors and follow investigations sparked by a state inquiry into child sexual abuse, police said in a statement on Friday. Some of the alleged abuse took place between 1974 and 1982, police said.  Another alleged incident occurred at the Ashley Youth Detention Centre between 1990 and 2021 when the man worked there.

▫️Victim abused by priest left 'doubting my life'
In November 2024, Martin Joseph Van Sang Mai was found guilty of five counts of sexually touching two young men in 2019.
Mai was the priest at two parishes in Wollongong on the NSW coast from October 2016 until November 2020. One of the victims' statements was read aloud at a sentence hearing on Friday by prosecutor Nerissa Keay to Campbelltown District Court. The young man attempted to take his own life twice after the abuse he experienced, Ms Keay said.

▫️New Zealand to increase redress payments for victims of abuse in state care
The New Zealand government said on Friday it would spend NZ$774 million ($457 million) in its 2025 budget for redress and compensation for hundreds of thousands of children, young people and vulnerable adults who were abused in state care.
A public inquiry last year found some 200,000 children and vulnerable adults in state and faith-based care experienced some form of abuse from 1950 to 2019, forcing Prime Minister Christopher Luxon in November to offer an historic national apology to victims and their families.

▫️Prince Harry's African charity admits human rights abuses after rainforest families said their rangers raped and beat tribespeople
An African wildlife charity part run by Prince Harry has admitted that human rights abuses were perpetrated by its own rangers following an explosive investigation by the Mail on Sunday. The Duke of Sussex was the president of African Parks for six years until being elevated to the governing board of directors two years ago.

Harry is said to be fully briefed on the scandal and along with the board has been involved in bringing about change to deal with the issues. The findings are another blow to the Duke of Sussex after his Sentebale charity was engulfed by scandal when he resigned from the board and its chair Sophie Chandauka accused him of 'harassment and bullying at scale' - a claim that is denied.
Last year an investigation by The Mail on Sunday discovered evidence of intimidation and abuse in the rainforests of the Republic of the Congo by guards managed and paid by the African Parks charity, including allegations of rapes and beatings. The MoS found first-hand testimonies of atrocities inflicted on the Baka, an indigenous people once known as pygmies, to stop them entering forests where they have foraged, fished, hunted and found medicines for millennia.
