4:22 pm
he remembers when dalglish first arrived here in the foothills of the himalayas just. maybe about ten years ago. and. he comes frequently. sometimes he arranges his leave for a year sometimes just a few months. 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. hit her and mobile phone is a rest 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.
4:23 pm
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 is some. we have to spent lots of trying to bring peter ellis in the frame of justice. we formed to believe he will be convicted because he committed the crime. cabot caterwaul is the deputy superintendent of the nepal police he was in charge of the investigation that led

4:25 pm
record his voice. there's one record whatever of no probs 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 health care that's their father one of 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 no photograph it's just the. police say they had submitted photographs of children from his computer as evidence
4:26 pm
but declined to give more details dalglish maintains he is the victim i think. it starts. with jealousy. it's never know for sure right now but i would much freedom. now i love this country i will continue to fight to protect kids who are. not going to. i'm never abused or touch a child in a program. if there is only two boys. get krishna out of her garage and rishi best to cody which is nine years old when they first met peter dahl glitch. i was going down from the school and my house and. i was sitting postcard and i met peter that in the road he's more than

4:28 pm
a lot i have been here i would be like doing something some kind of. in gulf countries so yeah or have whatever i'm 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 and his old days but we never ever thought that he would be looking after him like this. dalglish's reached in the paul extended far beyond the village where he built a home you're the first came to the himalaya nation more than a decade ago to work for a un 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
