VIP sex abuse is himself accused of child sex offences

The suspected fantasist in the disastrous VIP child abuse inquiry is to stand trial on charges of paedophilia. The man known only as 'Nick' is accused of committing child sex offences while Scotland Yard's Operation Midland was treating him as a victim. [...]

Harvey Proctor, who was falsely accused by Nick of being a child killer, said he was outraged by the latest twist. 'I am shocked that Nick is an alleged paedophile,' said the former Tory MP. 'I am also disgusted that the authorities have covered this up for several months.' Nick's baseless claims about sex abuse and serial murder involving an Establishment paedophile ring led to the Metropolitan Police setting up Operation Midland. The £3million inquiry resulted in raids on the homes of D-Day veteran Lord Bramall, the late former home secretary Leon Brittan and Mr Proctor. Nick also made unsubstantiated allegations of child sex abuse against former prime minister Edward Heath, the late Labour grandee Lord Janner and a number of distinguished former security chiefs. The decision to charge him with child sex offences will be hugely embarrassing to senior officers in the Metropolitan Police, who once described him as a 'credible and true' witness. They are likely to come under renewed scrutiny over their handling of the investigation, branded a 'witch-hunt' and a 'disgrace' by Mr Proctor.
