Jersey's Chief Minister: 'I am shocked. I am saddened. I am sorry'

Jersey's Chief Minister has apologised to people who were abused as children while in the island's care system.

Senator Ian Gorst has been speaking in response to the publication of the report by the Independent Jersey Care Inquiry, which has spent three years investigating claims of historic, systemic abuse in the island.

In a statement he said; 'unpalatable truths were swept under the carpet, because it was the easiest thing to do.'
