LONDON—Charities have been accused by British lawmakers of “complacency verging on complicity” over a sex abuse scandal that has rocked the sector.

The scandal was first uncovered by The London Times in February after it was revealed senior Oxfam staff had paid for sex from survivors of the Haiti earthquake in 2010.
