Nick’s outrageous allegations
OPERATION Midland began after a man known only as ‘Nick’ made allegations in 2014 that he was abused by a VIP paedophile gang linked to Westminster. Here the Mail assesses his most outrageous claims:
LORD BRAMALL ACCUSED OF RAPE AND SEXUAL ASSAULT
CLAIM: ‘Nick’ claimed Lord Bramall raped and molested him at a military base between 197 and 1984.
OUTCOME: Scotland Yard grudgingly admits there is ‘insufficient evidence’. In reality there was no evidence.
TORY MP KILLED A YOUNG BOY
CLAIM: ‘Nick’ told police that then Tory MP Harvey Proctor throttled a 12-year-old boy to death in front of him during a sex orgy at Dolphin Square, a luxury apartment complex near Parliament which was popular with Establishment figures. Later, Mr Proctor allegedly raped and threatened to castrate ‘Nick’ with a penknife, but was stopped by former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath.
OUTCOME:
Police raided Mr Proctor’s home last year but no victim has ever been identified or a body found. The case is ongoing.
EDWARD HEATH ABUSED ‘NICK’
CLAIM:
The former Prime Minister is accused of raping ‘Nick’. Wiltshire police are probing historical abuse allegations made against Sir Edward and appealed for witnesses outside the late PM’s Salisbury home.
OUTCOME: Inquiries ongoing.
MINISTER SAW A SECOND BOY MURDERED
CLAIM: ‘Nick’ said a second boy was killed by two unknown men in the presence of an unnamed Tory minister during an orgy.
OUTCOME: No victim identified and no witness has come forward.
FLOWN TO PARIS AND ABUSED
CLAIM: ‘Nick’ said he was flown to Paris and sexually abused in France by members of the Saudi royal family.
OUTCOME: Police officers have fruitlessly taken him to several airfields in the hope he might identify where he was allegedly smuggled out of the country.
CLAIM: ‘Nick’ told police that then Home Secretary Leon Brittan raped and molested him. A separate allegation that he raped a 19-year-old woman known as ‘Jane’ in 19 7 was made in November 2012.
OUTCOME: Police have found no credible evidence to substantiate ‘Nick’ but inquiries continue even though Lord Brittan is dead. Police also found ‘no evidence’ to support Jane’s claims and that case is closed.
CLAIM: ‘Nick’ claimed a boy aged ten or 11 was deliberately run down and killed by a car in Kingston, South-West London, in broad daylight between May and July 1979.
OUTCOME: Police have been unable to find any evidence to support the claim. BBC1’s Panorama programme established that it could not possibly have taken place.
CLAIM: In 2012, ‘Nick’ made an allegation of historic child sexual abuse against his stepfather. He did not refer to VIP paedophiles or murders. He later said his stepfather introduced him to the Westminster VIP abuse ring.
OUTCOME: Because his father died in 1995, the claims were not investigated.
