Two
arrested in paedophile probe linked to politicians
paedophile ring centred
on a former children’s home in south-west London made their first arrests
today.
Detectives swooped on
addresses in East Sussex and Norfolk and arrested two men in connection with
claims involving the widespread abuse of boys at the Elm Guest House in Barnes.
Scotland Yard is
investigating allegations that former ministers, senior MPs, top police
officers, pop stars and people with links to the royal household were involved
in parties involving abuse at the guest house.
At the weekend one
alleged victim said he was 13 when he and his 12-year-old brother, both
orphans, were sent there for parties when they were residents at the nearby
Grafton Close children’s home.
He said boys were plied
with alcohol before being told to pose for pictures wearing girls’
clothing. The men at the former guesthouse would then abuse them after
pretending to play hide and seek.
Police launched the
investigation, Operation Fernbridge, after concerns were raised in Parliament
by MP Tom Watson.
Speaking in October, he
said that a file of evidence used to convict Peter Righton of importing child
pornography in 1992 contained “clear intelligence” of a sex abuse gang. Mr
Watson alleged that a member of the group had bragged about links with a senior
aide to a former prime minister.
Detectives are said to
have obtained a list of “prominent people” who allegedly stayed at the former
guest house in Rocks Lane in the Eighties. There are claims of a child abuse
ring in the late Seventies and early Eighties.
Scotland Yard said
officers today arrested two men, aged 66 and 70, on suspicion of sexual
offences.
One arrest was at a flat
in St Leonards-on-Sea in East Sussex at 7.15am. Police spent two hours in the
top-floor flat in a tower block before emerging with a frail-looking man
wearing blue carpet slippers and using a walking stick.
Commander Peter Spindler,
the head of the MPS Specialist Crime Investigations, said today: “This is a
complex multi agency investigation supported by the NSPCC, CEOP and Richmond
social services involving non recent allegations of sexual assault against
children.”
Police said the claims
had no connections to the current occupants of the Elm Guest House which has
been converted into flats. Grafton Close closed more than 20 years ago. The
first allegations of abuse at the home emerged at a 1990 inquest into the
suicide of its German manager Carole Kasir.
Child protection
campaigners said she told them boys from the home had been taken to the
guesthouse and abused. The list of those who attended parties are said to
include Anthony Blunt, the Soviet spy, and Cyril Smith, the late Liberal MP.
Details of the raid in
East Sussex were revealed today by the Exaro investigative website.
