Jersey's chief minister has pledged "there is no hiding place" for child abusers on the island.
Frank Walker has denied a cover-up and told island senators that anyone who abused children or colluded with abuse would be pursued.
Ex-minister, Senator Stuart Syvret, has claimed previous abuses were mishandled and urged the UK government to use independent judges for any court case.
A search of the grounds of a former children's home has been suspended.
In a statement made to the States of Jersey - the equivalent of the UK's parliament - Mr Walker spoke of a "dark cloud" hanging over the island, following news that police were investigating 27 cases of child-abuse.
