Victims claim rooms at the site were used for abuse and have described being raped, drugged and flogged.Jersey Deputy Police Chief Lenny Harper said members of the public are continuing to make allegations of serious sexual crimes, and a request has been made for a further 12 staff to assist with the investigation.More than 70 phone calls have been received in the past few days relating to alleged abuse at the home involving over 40 suspects.The excavation site is in a stairwell approximately 20ft long by 8ft wide. Teams of between two and four forensic experts have worked on the area every day since the operation began.
