A 45-year-old Jerseyman was arrested and brought back to the Island from the UK by police last night for questioning about alleged serious sexual crimes at Haut de la Garenne.
Those crimes allegedly took place in the 1970s and 1980s.
The man is the third person to be arrested in connection with the major inquiry into historical child abuse in Jersey.
He was taken into custody at police headquarters last night and was due to be questioned today.
Deputy police chief Lenny Harper said that officers from the Island had gone over to the UK to arrest the man and he was brought back to the Island without any problems.
‘The inquiry is progressing well. We always said that this would not be a quick operation but had to be steady so that it would be done properly,’ he said.
