British charity Oxfam has apologized to Haiti following allegations it covered up sexual misconduct by aid workers.

The charity's deputy chief executive resigned and a number of celebrity ambassadors have left the organization in the wake of the scandal.

And the scandal seems to have caused a crisis of confidence between the international aid community and politicians in the U.K.

The United Kingdom's Liberal Democrat party has called for a full inquiry into illegal sexual behavior "across the wider aid sector."
