Diplomats accused of heinous crimes
Embassy staff involved with trafficking

FOREIGN embassy staff enjoying diplomatic immunity have been accused of a string of offences including child pornography and human trafficking.

The alleged offences include a claim that an unnamed person at the Mexican embassy forced a child aged 13 to 15 to watch or look at an image of sexual activity.
