Today's Video Focus: Liberia's government has launched an investigation into an American
charity set up to help vulnerable girls, following a report into how the
organisation dealt with allegations a staff member had raped pupils in
its care.
The first More Than Me Academy was established in 2013 in the Liberian
capital Monrovia by American, Katie Meyler. A former staff member,
Macintosh Johnson, was accused of raping girls at the school.
Katie Meyler has temporarily resigned as CEO of the charity pending the
outcome of the investigation.
