Colombia to investigate alleged child abuse by United States military

Posted 47 minutes ago

Colombian authorities say they will investigate allegations of child sexual abuses by US contractors and military staff.

Historian Renen Vega claimed 53 minors were sexually abused by US troops when they were in the country between 2003 and 2007.

The claims were published in February in a report on talks between the government and leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas.

The US soldiers were said to have filmed the acts and sold the tapes as pornographic material.
