(Reuters photo)LONDON: Oxfam’s country director in Haiti admitted to using prostitutes at his residence during a relief mission before resigning in 2011, according to an internal investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct released by the charity on Monday. It is the first time Oxfam has directly addressed accusations against Roland Van Hauwermeiren, who has denied paying for sex with prostitutes or abusing minors. He ran the Oxfam operation in Haiti after an earthquake in 2010 and resigned in 2011. Reuters has been unable to contact Van Hauwermeiren for comment. In the redacted version of the 2011 internal report circulated to media and seen by Reuters, only Van Hauwermeiren was named.
