13 people were imprisoned for child sex; for that, a prison was built in 2004.
Later, mayor Warren was convicted for having child porn. "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."
They have just one tortoise, and "a protection order makes it an offence should anyone kill, injure, capture, maim, or cause harm or distress to the tortoise."
"Diesel generators provide the island with electricity from 7 am to 10 pm. The only qualified high-voltage electrician on Pitcairn, who manages the electricity grid, reached the age of 67 in 2020."
"The government has tried to attract migrants. However, these initiatives have not been effective." "The migrants are expected to have at least NZ$30,000 per person in savings and are expected to build their own house at average cost of NZ$140,000."
"Most resident Pitcairn Islanders are descendants of the Bounty mutineers and Tahitians (or other Polynesians). Pitkern is a creole language derived from 18th-century English, with elements of the Tahitian language."
