Perhaps a very relevant paragraph from the same report listed earlier:
"Although the problem of sexual abuse is widespread in Pacific societies, there is a tendency to deny that the problem could be home-grown and to assume that sexual abuse of children is only committed by foreigners. This is because it is much easier to report criminal sexual behaviour of a foreigner, if it can be detected, and to punish him or her, than it is if the abuser is a local."
