Sex case islanders face prison decision wait
Seven men on trial for alleged sex attacks on tiny Pitcairn island – home to descendants of the Bounty mutineers – might have to wait until next year to learn if they will face jail, British officials said today.
Britain’s High Commission in Wellington is responsible for governing the territory, a tiny speck of rock midway between New Zealand and South America, settled by mutineers from the warship HMS Bounty in 1790.
