For thse who occasionally visit my blog here is an update, from my perspective, on the Haut de la Garenne case.

The police are still continuing to investigate the allegations of abuse, and it is my hunch that their enquiries will continue for many months. Three men have been charged. Some media reports advised that one of them had pleaded guilty at the first hearing, but no more have been said in that regard.

My own enquiries in conjuction with my colleagues at Ozannes continue.

The Bailiff’s Liberation Day speech (see BBC News website for extract) was widely reported and drew comment on his Haut de la Garenne observations. There are too many victims and too many tragic stories which prevent the genie being put back in to the bottle. If the victims’ accounts are true then there is a great injustice that needs to be put right, and the media coverage has probably done immesurable good to that end.
