About this episode
The episode explores the complexities of implementing British law on the remote Pacific Island of Pitcairn following a serious crime investigation.
In Kent, UK, Police Officer Peter George is asked to investigate an alleged serious crime: the rape of a child. The crime is not in England but on the remote Pacific Island of Pitcairn, and what Peter and his colleague find is a complicated story. They decide that modern British law and policing must be taken to this worryingly lawless Island, but how to implement an entire legal system on a remote Pacific island? And what are the secrets that are hidden in plain sight? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
