Child sex ‘unsubstantiated’
Friday, April 11th, 2008Natasha Robinson; 10/4/08
Police have not found any evidence to indicate a child sex trade is occurring in the remote Northern Territory mining town of Nhulunbuy. Northern Territory acting Assistant Police Commissioner Colleen Gwynne said yesterday reports that underage girls were being paid in alcohol, cash, marijuana and taxi fares for having sex with white men in Nhulunbuy could not be substantiated by a child abuse taskforce. The police statement comes after Arnhem Land leader Galarrwuy Yunupingu publicly stated last week that a rampant sex trade was occurring in Nhulunbuy, 650km east of Darwin, involving at least 10 girls aged between 13 and 15.]
