Rape a 'way of life' on Pitcairn

BBC News

Young girls on the tiny UK colony of Pitcairn were treated as sexual playthings and rape was a way of life on the island, a court has been told.

Seven male islanders, including mayor Steve Christian, are facing 55 charges of rape or indecent assault.

Dave Brown, the second to stand trial on the island, is accused of assaulting a series of girls as young as five.

Prosecutors told the court that he felt able to abuse his victims whenever he wanted.
