A UK international aid charity has confirmed it has dealt with two cases of alleged sexual misconduct involving children.
The Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (Sciaf) said one incident in 2012 involved the alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl by a volunteer for a partner agency for the charity in Burundi, Africa.
The second incident involved a junior staff member for a joint organisation with two other UK and Irish Catholic charities in Ethiopia who is accused of sexual misconduct with a boy aged under 16.
Sciaf director Alistair Dutton said both incidents were dealt with "decisively", the men immediately suspended and the charity and partners co-operated with police.
Neither of the alleged victims were people being helped by Sciaf and the incidents did not take place during any of the charity's projects.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
