British teacher exposes pedophilia, gets charged with defamation

Jill Campbell and her husband, Gary Campbell, brought to light a case of pedophilia at an Ethiopian orphanage run by a Swiss charity. While the charity has admitted that the director of the orphanage was involved with the child abuse, they take umbrage at the Campbell’s claims that they covered up the assaults.

“We asked them to stop defaming us and they said no,” said Colin Tucker, child protection manager for Terre Des Hommes in Switzerland. “Then the court asked them to stop defaming us and she said no again.”

The Campbells, who have lived in Ethiopia for more than a decade, have drawn wide support in Ethiopia. A group formed to support them, Stop Institutional Pedophilia in Ethiopia, said the charity is “forcing Gary and Jill to apologize for blowing the whistle and stopping the chain of homosexual abusers victimizing orphans.”

Gary Campbell issued a public apology for the comments last month, then said he did so only because nobody would be able to care for the couple’s children if they both went to jail.

    I know Gary and Jill Campbell and know what they do for the homeless people in Addis Ababa. They are a wonderful example of humans caring for others without first considering who they are, what they look like, what faith they belong to nor how little they have. What TdH has done is an outrage against the image they would like to portray to their donors, countries they work at and NGOs who really do care about those they serve!
