A MAN who spent two years at Haut de la Garenne says no abuse of children took place there.

Pete Carre, who lived at the children’s home from 1963 to 1965, said that he was shocked by allegations that rape and abuse at Haut de la Garenne was widespread.

He said that if abuse had taken place at the St Martin home then he would have known about it.

The 57-year-old Guernsey resident also claims that his best friend, who spent seven years at Haut de la Garenne, was equally surprised by many of the claims of former residents in recent weeks.
