World’s Largest Children’s Charity Founder Arrested For Raping Children

Fact checked
Peter John Dalglish, a UN adviser and founder of the world's largest children's charity, has been arrested on child rape charges in Nepal.

Peter John Dalglish, a top United Nations adviser and founder of the world’s largest children’s charity, has been arrested on child rape charges in Nepal. During the arrest, two young children, ages 12 and 14, were rescued from Dalglish’s custody.

Dalglish, 60, is a citizen of Canada who founded Street Kids International which later became the renowned Save The Children charity. He has been traveling the world working with children for the last two decades.

However the high-profile UN advisor’s jet-set lifestyle appears to have come to an abrupt end. The Central Investigation Bureau of Nepal Police (CIB) told Global News that Dalglish is under lock and key and “is being investigated for child sexual exploitation abuse.

DIG Pushkar Karki, director of the CIB, told MyRepublica of Nepal that Dalglish was promising to help educate disadvantaged children and provide charity and job opportunities for their families:

“Our preliminary investigation has found that he has been targeting children from poor financial backgrounds and sexually abusing them.

By promising the family members that he would educate their children, take them abroad and also provide them jobs after they finish their education, he had been sexually abusing children.

Given his age and his high profile in the humanitarian sector, he would easily win the trust of the family members and later abuse their children.”

But it gets even worse.

Dalglish, who was recently awarded the Order of Canada by the Trudeau government, is facing up to 15 years in prison if found guilty of the current charges. However prosecutors have announced that Dalglish is likely to be facing more charges, as it is believed the current charges against the international philanthropist represent the tip of the iceberg in terms of his crimes against children.

Karki also said that Dalglish was well known for these types of crimes in other countries, despite the fact that he has never been prosecuted. International security services and law enforcement have been turning a blind eye to the UN’s top children’s charity advisor while he abused children around the world.

Not just that, he might have been involved in pedophilia in other countries as well where he served as UN official in the past,” Karki said.“He had arrived in Nepal three months ago. After we got information about his sexual misconduct from security agencies in other countries, we had been closely following him and managed to arrest him.”

TFTP reports: In the last two years, seven pedophiles have been arrested in Nepal, six of them were not Nepal natives, and four were over the age of 60.

A representative with the Canadian government declined to comment, saying only that “Global Affairs Canada is aware of the arrest of a Canadian citizen in Nepal. Consular services are being provided. Due to the provisions of the Privacy Act, no further information can be disclosed.

If Dalglish is found guilty of these charges in Nepal, he will be facing up to 15 years in prison. However, it is now likely that he will come under further suspicion for other crimes committed during his years of being involved with children’s charities.

Danglish is best known as the founder of the Street Kids International charity and the Trails Youth Initiative program, one of the worlds largest children’s charities which is now known as the renowned Save the Children charity. He also worked for the United Nations in various capacities during his lengthy career.

As Steemian V4vapid pointed out in his research, the organizations that Danglish worked for have been quick to distance themselves from him. In addition, the social media pages associated with Danglish have all been taken down.

UN spokesperson, Stephane Dujarric, said in a statement that Dalglish is no longer affiliated with any UN programs. “We stand strongly against any sexual abuse. Any allegations need to be thoroughly investigated,” Dujarric said.

In 2016, Dalglish was named a member of the Order of Canada for “his efforts to alleviate child poverty worldwide, notably by establishing and leading Street Kids International.”

The Order has now said that if Dalglish is convicted of a crime, he will have his title removed.

Sadly, this type of case is all too familiar, as it is common for child predators to gravitate towards positions where they will be seen as guardians or saviors. Wealthy donors to children’s charities are notorious for preying on children and using their prestige to intimidate their victims.

For example, predators such as Jimmy Saville and Jerry Sandusky managed to get away with their crimes for decades by using this strategy.
