How VIP paedophile liar 'Nick' fooled Scotland Yard

How VIP paedophile liar 'Nick' fooled Scotland Yard

In the last of three interviews about his new book, ex-High Court Judge Sir Richard Henriques QC speaks to award-winning Daily Mail crime writer Stephen Wright about the Met’s bungled Operation Midland inquiry into 'Nick', real name Carl Beech, whose claims of a sinister VIP child sex ring led to raids on the homes of former Home Secretary Lord Brittan and ex Armed Forces chief Lord Bramall. Former Tory MP Harvey Proctor, also falsely accused, reveals his anger at the police raid on his home and the role of ex Labour deputy leader Tom Watson in the scandal. So how DID detectives fall for the implausible stories of vicar’s son ‘Nick’, a conman and paedophile?
