On 30 September 2004, seven male residents of Pitcairn, about one-third of the male population, and six others living abroad, were tried on 55 sex-related offences. Among the accused was Steve Christian, Pitcairn's Mayor, who faced several charges of rape, indecent assault, and child abuse.[44] On 25 October 2004, six men were convicted, including Steve Christian. A seventh, the island's former Magistrate Jay Warren, was acquitted.[45][46][47] In 2004, the islanders surrendered about 20 firearms ahead of the sexual assault trials.[48]
After the six men lost their final appeal, the British government set up a prison on the island at Bob's Valley.[49][50] The men began serving their sentences in late 2006. By 2010, all had served their sentences or been granted home detention status.[51]
In 2010, mayor Mike Warren was charged with 25 counts of possessing child pornography on his computer.[52][53] In 2016, Warren was found guilty of downloading more than 1,000 images and videos of child sexual abuse. Warren began downloading the images some time after the 2004 sexual assault convictions. During the time he downloaded the images, he was working in child protection. Warren was also convicted of engaging in a "sex chat" with someone he believed was a 15-year-old girl.[54]
