nestled in the shadow of the himalayas lies a quiet village about two hours from the polls capital katmandu. the road leading into the village is bumpy as it winds its way through the steep hill. it may be picturesque but for those who live here it's a life marked by poverty. maps not a surprising place for a world renowned humanitarian to come and build a home it's a beautiful country. it's my adopted home here because i love the people i'm telling you is that a specialist. canadian peter dogma she has devoted his life to helping some of the world's poorest children in africa afghanistan and asia he's worked with the leading aid organizations including the united nations world food program and unicef and set up his own charity. st kitts international the last two weeks of

nine hundred eighty four in a refugee camp in northern ethiopia with. between five and six thousand children who were in the last stage of the wife. and it was transforming moment and i knew at that point that i would never practice water i never raced around in a convertible b.m.w. in the streets of vancouver with the top down and there would be no ski chalet you know my life had changed and. i made a promise to the kids in the camp that i would never forget them and i never out. dalglish has rubbed shoulders with prime ministers one prestigious awards and written about his work with kids around the world. how are you. right this is your village. he's a village elder big gram to mang was born here like most of the other locals around

naked he's never ventured far from these hills because they. just dream of going to be very. expensive so jeff that. he remembers when dalglish first arrived here in the foothills of the himalayas just does most of the people maybe about ten years ago he first came and. he comes frequently. sometimes he arranges his leave for a year sometimes just a few months of work. or you want to get him. one morning last april the piece of this quiet village was shot police burst into dalglish's home in the hills and found two boys inside the lead the boys away and took into custody officers also took his passport. huge her and mobile phone

is a rest and every good balance on them of what i would common community has little education we trust of this easily even i did not study much and i believe in novels. but beneath his generosity and respected public profile police say dalglish was a very different man they allege the child advocate is actually a child abuser nepalese authorities state he lured children with food and money and promised them overseas trips and jobs in five star hotels before sexually abusing them we made several side will insist for many days. and it is the outcome of our bid it isn't. we have spent lots of trying. to bring peter ellis in the frame of justice. we formed to believe he will be

convicted because he commuted the crime. cabot caterwaul is the deputy superintendent of the nepal police he was in charge of the investigation that led to doubtless his arrest he and his officers began investigating after they received a tip from an overseas source actually many pardon us there coming here in. the lobby. and we really this picked them for their to the case and for some of the. mosque in the areas social work. under the cover of the. distance and. they are misusing the power in their. exploiting children. the former aid worker currently sits in a cell in a small town outside katmandu waiting for his case to wind its way through the net

police court. this is the prison where peter is being held he's agreed to tell us his side of the story the prison won't allow cameras inside that we can record his voice. if you want to record what are of no consequence ok. dalglish denies all allegations of child sexual abuse he insists he's an innocent man swept up in a police crackdown. so you need to know that i never touched any child. if you went to the village near my house they would tell you i've never invited any kids to my house i never not one child. need to know both cats their father one boy his father that weighs on he lives on the property he's in my house more than me he's a severe alcoholic and i keep them employed i need to know there is no d.n.a.

evidence against me. there is no medical evidence. police say they had submitted photographs of children from his computer as evidence but declined to give more details dalglish maintains he is the victim i think. it starts. with jealousy and with gossip. it's never know for sure right what i will with my freedom. now i love this country i will continue to fight to protect kids who will. not benefit. i'll never abuse or touch a child in a program. if there is only two boys. krishna budha her garang and rishi best to cody which is nine years old when they first met peter dog. i was going down from the

school and my house and. i was sitting. and i met peter that in the road is more than a that for us because he's done for us as a dad where our father should be standing but he didn't father he left us he also became a father figure for rishi. and he and i he's the one who do everything for me my uncle and. now the boy say it to their turn to do something for peter ensuring he has good food to eat and it's looked after in prison is he still looking after you financially this is still supporting us yeah yeah yeah we're getting money and we're expanding that money and peter on the beat another and other things. did more than just put the boys through school he helped them see

a world beyond a pull taking them to student conferences anything kapoor and thailand. i don't have anything else if i have a better not have been here i would be like doing something some kind of. in gulf countries so yeah or have whatever i've knowledge of. the boys and visit dalgleish in prison three times a day. we're happy to do this it's our duty we dreamed of looking after him in his old days but we never ever thought that he would be looking after him like this. dalglish is reaching the paul extended far beyond the village where he built a home. he first came to the himalaya nation more than a decade ago to work for a u.n. agency. also taught students boarding school in katmandu.

this is the school where peter dalglish taught children on a volunteer basis and administrator told us the school cut ties with him in two thousand and eleven but refused to meet with us to explain why. the administrator has however told canadian media that she became worried after dalglish asked her to bend the rules to allow children to visit his house after school dalglish denies this and blames the falling out on internal politics. political involving money and you know there's a lot of money tied up with the buddhist community here and if you want to. call it . douglas took his message about the need to help vulnerable children far and white. schools invited him to give motivational talks to their students. united world conference or you w c which has seventeen schools around the world

said dalglish spoke at a number of their events about his work with the un. and with street children five months before he was arrested you w.c. investigated rumors about possible exploitative p.t.v. they then suspended him from the board of trustees of u. w.c. thailand and released a statement it read we thought mr doll was part of the fight for education opportunities for disadvantaged children across the globe it is shocking that the precarious situation of these children may have been used for their sexual exploitation. peter douglas may be the most high profile man to be accused of child abuse in the poll but he's certainly not the only one. since april of this year police have charged for other

foreigners with similar offenses. most of the arrests took place in katmandu a magnet for tourists and for poor vulnerable children. at the very beginning all of the good of files they were concentrated around because. of his two children and it is easy to find a small boy. deputy superintendent covered caterwaul was off duty at a park with his two sons when he first noticed a foreigner surrounded by young boys i was with my family and i noticed. he was with children young children sixteen sixteen and one was sixteen i noticed i secretly. i have some sense you see because. i was very doubtfully that guy. that guy was dutch

child psychologist p.s. kind than true. he had visitors nepal ten times in the past four years always staying in the capital's tourist district we made about fifteen dates r.b.'s around the clock. we located the. where the. the boy used to. come from morning about the authority to label pm so the poppy trade used to take to the. boy through the park for streaming sometimes for something. we were familiar about all his activities. after weeks of surveillance police arrested joey's guy in a third floor hotel room the alleged victim was with him. but we immediately this the boy. from that home. we call the

father and mother we took the preliminary interview with the. boy in front of the parents. during our industry is and it was revealed that. the perpetrator. he had family connection with the family very intimate relationship with the family the boy's father and alder brother agreed to meet with us because the alleged victim is still under age we cannot identify him or his family or of us or of us or with words. he used to call me son in law and address my wife his daughter and he used to call my two sons his grandkids we were poor so i thought he helped us because of that i was suspicious from the beginning that this man is not. right there must be some hidden self interest here. but the generous former soon won over the boy's father with gifts

and cash so he helped that time around thirty five to forty five dollars and it continued from there he visited as frequently it was good he used to give us gifts on birthdays he was shocked by his son's revelations. he touched him in inappropriate places put oil in powder on him did this and kissed him on the cheeks held his cheeks and grabbed the unwanted places things like how did that make you feel. i felt very bad about it he did that to my son. is also now being investigated back in the netherlands. we got abundant support from that in the land police. child pornography. i mean photograph. to his guy is being held in katmandu

maximum security prison if convicted he faces up to eleven years behind bars this is the case. given. his lawyer or not he. says to his guy is not a paedophile instead just an innocent foreigner caught up in a crackdown by the police the central investigation bureau or c.i. p. ca he has not been that in physical evidence i missed my point because there is a good mood of the class of the victim. but. actually. blaming barry williams peter that is very weak the police here are are really. it doing very old fashioned police work where it's just straight surveillance and that the foreigners who have been caught

it's been by chance. more we had is a veteran humanitarian worker who tracks the abuse in the international aid said she's not surprised that so many of the foreigners arrested in nepal for child sexual exploitation have been working for n.g.o.s or had been financially supporting founder. i do think that nepal like any country where there are a lot of very war children is a target because pedophiles look for disposable children nobody should be shot because this is how pedophiles gain access you don't gain access to children by being this horrible nasty person right you gain access by putting yourself in position of powerful vulnerable children so you get involved in children's charities you join the boys and girls club you're a shining light in the boys and girls club predators are social paths usually so they come across charming and you think oh this is such

a lovely man but he just loves children and so there's a huge imbalance between the predators and the survivors. that imbalance between the accused and the alleged victims presents a major challenge for authorities prosecuting these cases police say to whiskas family in the netherlands came to nepal to convince the alleged victim's family to withdraw the accusation. they were trying to. be referring to. money some type of money. to be competitive. huge amount of money and they were trying to negotiate. giving. some dollars some. thousand dollars maybe on the beach or a monster. there was. money to.

dismiss the case. was going to family and their lawyer say the conversation did not happen he says his client's family only keen to nepal to visit two with guy in prison. here to. bring us where there is also guilty the way they reacted when we did. they had to give. whatever the truth of the two is good case those who work with victims say perpetrators often try to buy their way out of trouble increasing rana is a human rights activist and a board member of sofie a local organization that counsels abuse victims and their families it is very difficult because first of all. families don't want to bring out the issue because it's a matter of shame also on top of that happened to

a boy so it's you know something that even the communities don't want to talk about or even accept are when going to the court there is a sense of feeling that you know they may not get justice. and also another challenge that we do see is there are always people from the perpetrators side who are trying to. convince them not to fight cases through different mediums including bribes and so these foreigners have the resources definitely try to make it go away definitely definitely they do feel that it's a matter of exploitation sexual exploitation is there but then at another level it's a rotation through power you know so power money is being used to prevent them from registering cases as well as. trying to prevent them to even talk.

making an official complaint about abuse can be difficult for any child anywhere but here in nepal where foreigners are held in high esteem it can be even more challenging and there is a sense with saying guests like gods so. when foreigners befriend and you know build up very close relationships with the parents of some of these abused voice than for them it's even harder to believe. so he is now looking after about one hundred girls and eighty boys in several shelters many of them are street children and orphans with nowhere else to go a lot of foreigners have been found abusing young boys. in hot spots such as in the tourist areas and more recently we are also finding that they are not only in tuchman or you know so much more well known to response but even moving slowly to

the remote areas is where. advocates say vulnerable communities need to be aware that not everyone comes with the right motivation and more needs to be done to protect children. are n.g.o.s doing enough screening to prevent possible predators from infiltrating their organization to exploit kids know these countries not at all not only non-governmental organizations but u.n. agencies as well there's no screening going on whatsoever. laurie hadra hand says part of the solution is for n.g.o.s to monitor their employees' online activity most of the pedophiles always video themselves it's become a currency it takes on values so they very rarely raped children without also videoing it and taking photographs and then immediately sharing those so to me an indication that we were starting to stop the problem would be that every

humanitarian is monitored so you sign a consent form just like you have to get random drug testing for some jobs right so i would sign a consent form that all of my electronics even my personal like tronics would be subject to random search the way to monitor and. there are more than forty thousand registered n.g.o.s and the poll and even more than registered. and there's a growing awareness amongst them of the potential dangers strangers can pull ups in the beginning we have to have you open but we all know that we would be like a platform for some of the things they were doing everything gets. the bell kendra's school in katmandu here is for about seventy vulnerable children most of their parents are poor migrant laborers with little support here in the city. funded by

a small american engine you know many foreigners coming here for income. principle here indebted to you says the school ensures those who come have good intentions when somebody we want them to write to later and have a different persona that we may want to contact and we also asked them based all gave. the spelling to us. we developed the confidence that they had worked together with the new problem. and you never leave the children alone with foreigners without one of their i don't think we should we should all be that is our policy. the bow kendra's school and other local n.g.o.s are determined to do whatever it takes to protect nepal's children. which of them are just the. little flowers they are very for giant you know they trust

and they're wonderful they're all rich trust everyone. nepalese authorities insist that they too are doing what they can to crack down on child sexual abuse. the government recently introduced longer prison sentences for perpetrators and fast track courts to speed up criminal trials. we want to bring just one committed. against children it is not. able to claim. deputy superintendent cut to wall says he's more committed than ever to the fight against child sex abuse children that are powers if we can't protect them the mission will be collapsed. it's clear this poverty stricken country is an easy target for abuse but increased community awareness and

a determined police force will hopefully make nepal safer for its youngest and most vulnerable citizens. singapore is being accused of expanding its coastline with illegally dredged south and some of the islands off the coast of indonesia literally vanished it's a big business smuggling when they go take this there in the sand is our parakeet you see this beautiful beach behind it is something that's not so plentiful the tragedy is that people are just not aware and ecological investigation into a global emergency sound was on al-jazeera. xenophobia violent and beating the drum for an ethnic civil war in the heart of.
