Extractions: Welcome to Norfolk Island's Home on the Web Norfolk Island is but a speck on the surrounding two million empty square miles of seascape. In the South Pacific Ocean, this three by five mile volcanic outcrop is a subtropical paradise - but a paradise which has known inhuman brutality. Discovered by Captain James Cook, it was claimed by him for Great Britain and named in honour of the Duchess of Norfolk. Cook's crew were struck by the island's rugged beauty and the abundance of flax and pine. Cook sailed on, and the island was to remain uninhabited for a further 14 years. Since then the island has seen two penal settlements come and go, the second of which was the most brutal ever established by Britain. In 1856 the island received those who call it home to this day - the Pitcairners, descendants of the Bounty Mutineers. During the intervening 140 years these people have nurtured the island to make it a prosperous, tranquil and beautiful place. Thousands of people from all over the world now come to experience the history, beauty and unique Pitcairn culture that make Norfolk Island a paradise on Earth. However, paradise is threatened...

Extractions: Archives Login Profile New user ... Post You are logged in as Anonymous 4082 members The Pitcairns are one of the most isolated settlements in the world. They lie midway between New Zealand and Peru and were settled famously after the mutiny on the Bounty in 1789. (Photo tour here .) The primary family on Pitcairn is still the Christian family, who claim to be descended from Fletcher Christian. The islands are officially a British colony, but as far as the settlers and their descendants are concerned, they are an independent and self-governing nation . So the three-and-a-half year criminal investigation and subsequent trial of several Pitcairn men for indecent assault and rape has opened up serious issues for the residents and the British Crown. Thirteen men four in New Zealand, seven on Pitcairn and two in Australia faced trial for raping underage girls as far back as forty years ago. The island had no courthouse, no jail, and no accommodation for the legal staff required for the trial. The men being tried helped to build their prison. But in the wake of this discussion on MoFi recently (and this comment ) the question of cultural and moral relativism seemed interesting. Several times, the accused men stated that their behaviour was perfectly acceptable on the island. Regardless of their sovereignty, is it reasonable?

Extractions: Some of the island's women have spoken out in defence of the men Some women on the British Pacific colony of Pitcairn have criticised sex abuse trials due to get under way on the remote island on Wednesday. Seven men, or half the adult male population of the tiny community, are facing more than 50 charges. At a public meeting on Pitcairn, female residents claimed it was customary for girls on the island to have sex as young as 12. Some alleged victims of abuse had been coerced into testifying, they said. The accused include the island's mayor, Steve Christian, and his son Randy. Also facing charges are Len Brown, his son Dave, Jay Warren, Terry Young and Dennis Christian. Many of the women of Pitcairn, one of the world's most remote communities, believe that the charges against the seven are unfair.

Print Mail Wikipedia Pitcairn trial convicts six men ABUSE VERDICT: The men were found guilty of indecent assault or rape for incidents stretching back around 40 years; sentencing is expected to take place later this week Tuesday, Oct 26, 2004,Page 5 Advertising Six men were convicted of a string of sex attacks on the remote Pacific island of Pitcairn, British authorities said yesterday, following trials that exposed a culture of sexual abuse on the tiny home of descendants of the 18th-century Bounty mutineers. Among those convicted was Pitcairn Island Mayor Steve Christian, who claims to be a direct descendant of mutiny leader Fletcher Christian. He was cleared of four indecent assaults and one rape but convicted of five other rapes, Bryan Nicolson of the British High Commission in Wellington, New Zealand, said. The verdicts were read out by judges sent to the island from New Zealand who sat in makeshift courts in the Pitcairn community hall for the trials, which started on Sept. 30. Sentences were expected to be announced later this week.
