Fiji is again being rocked by allegations of sexual abuse by a member of the clergy.

Police are investigating a member of the Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma who has been accused of sexually assaulting 14 boys while he was serving on an outer island.

This comes amid ongoing investigations into allegations of historical sexual abuse by a Catholic priest that were reported last year.
