While in the USA, Leah read about the child abuse scandal, on the island of Jersey.
The deputy chief of police, Lenny Harper, talked about human remains found at the orphanage called Haut de la Garenne.
Hundreds of the victims claimed that they had been sexually abused by the rich and powerful.
Harper and his boss Graham Power were smeared by the local newspaper, The Jersey Evening Post, and driven from the island.
Their main supporter, Senator Stuart Syvret , was jailed.
"Evidence found at Haut de la Garenne - including bones that were “fresh and fleshed” before being burned and dozens of children’s teeth with the roots still on them in the furnace area - was turned over to a new police chief who downplayed its significance but also admitted to throwing some of it out."

As an investigative journalist, Leah began to travel to the UK on a regular basis to conduct interviews with the victims, senators and law-enforcement officials.
The result?
"I was detained, questioned and banned from the United Kingdom in the wake of research for my next book in the Channel Islands."

I've not read your links yet, WUB, but that suggests that there were some people with a hell of a lot of clout involved in what was going on in Jersey.

Crikey Wake up, I'm beginning to wonder if you are snooping at my computer
I don't hate all forms of journalism but the truth is, crimes such as haut de la garenne should be investigated by police only, sometimes journos get in the way and fuck things up.
