Reacting to the sex scandal that has broken out over the activity of some former Oxfam staff in Haiti, President Jovenel Moïse declared: “There is nothing more outrageous and dishonest than a sexual predator who uses his position as part of the humanitarian response to a natural disaster to exploit needy people in their moment of greatest vulnerability.”

That accurately sums up the widespread and indignant reaction to the story published in The Times last week.
