Norway probes child sex abuse cases at refugee centres - Al Jazeera English

Norway probes child sex abuse cases at refugee centres - Al Jazeera English: "Norwegian police say they are investigating "several" cases of children suffering from sexual abuse at asylum-seekers' reception centres in the country.



 Axel Wilhelm Due, from the National Criminal Investigation Services, told The Associated Press news agency on Tuesday that the abuse cases were reported to authorities towards the end of last year, without providing specific figures.



 The incidents included abuse by known sex offenders visiting the reception centres, as well as residents of the centres, Due said.



"We are looking very seriously at every individual case, and based on our information it's very likely that children living in reception centres in Norway have been and are being subjected to sexual abuse," he said."
