Australia asylum: Nauru review hears 'credible' sex abuse claims

 

 An inquiry into reports of sexual abuse at Australia's asylum camp in Nauru found "credible" claims of assault and harassment. 

The inquiry, conducted by former integrity commissioner Philip Moss, found two allegations of rape and others of "indecent assault, sexual harassment and physical assault".
It found no evidence charity workers lied about abuse claims at the centre.
The probe made 19 recommendations, which the government said it accepted.
Australian Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said sexual assault was "not something that we would accept in Australia, and it's not something that the Nauruans accept in their community".
Australia sends asylum seekers who arrive by boat to camps in the Pacific island of Nauru and in Papua New Guinea for processing. Conditions in these camps have been strongly criticised by rights groups.
