Oxfam has admitted it 'got it wrong' and should have made its Haiti sex scandal public as the Government reviews the charity's multi-million pound funding.

It comes as staff involved in the investigation were given references by former employees and went on to work for other aid agencies who were unaware of their conduct.

Oxfam had allowed three men to resign and sacked four others for gross misconduct after they were found to have hosted “Caligula” style sex parties involving Haitian prostitutes in the aftermath of 2010 earthquake.

An internal report into the incident uncovered by The Times, which was circulated in 2011, was unable to rule out that under-age women had been solicited.
