WA Doctor Arrested In India on Suspicion of Pedophilia
Police in eastern India have arrested a WA doctor working at an orphanage on suspicion of pedophilia, a police officer said. Police identified the accused as Paul Allen, 60, and said he was a volunteer at the Mary-Ellen Gerber (MEG) Children's Village and was being held in custody after being denied bail. The community houses 85 orphans aged between five and 18 in Puri town, 65km east of Orissa state capital, Bhubaneswar.
