Police would have questioned Former Prime Minister Ted Heath Re: Sex abuse claims

Quote:
Sir Edward Heath would have been questioned over sex abuse claims if he was alive when they came to light, police have said.

Wiltshire Police launched Operation Conifer in 2015 when the former PM was accused of historical child sex abuse.

The Conservative politician would have been interviewed under caution over seven claims, including the alleged rape of an 11-year-old, they said.

No inference of guilt should be drawn from this, police stressed.

The allegations include one of rape of a male under 16, three of indecent assault on a male under 16, four of indecent assault on a male under 14, and two of indecent assault on a male over 16.
Quote:
The seven victim disclosures for which Sir Edward would have been interviewed under caution:
  • 1961, London: Sir Edward allegedly raped and indecently assaulted boy, 11, during a paid sexual encounter in private in a dwelling
  • 1962, Kent: Sir Edward allegedly indecently assaulted a ten year-old-boy during a chance encounter in a public place
  • 1964, Sussex and London: Sir Edward allegedly indecently assaulted a 15-year-old boy in three paid sexual encounters
  • 1967, Guernsey: Sir Edward allegedly indecently assaulted a 15-year-old boy in a public building
  • 1976, Jersey: Sir Edward allegedly indecently assaulted, over clothing, an adult male at a public event
  • 1992, Wiltshire: Sir Edward allegedly assaulted an adult male after consent was withdrawn in a hotel
  • Between 1990-1992, Wiltshire: Sir Edward allegedly indecently assaulted a male, aged between 12 and 14 years, in private gardens

Re: Police would have questioned Former Prime Minister Ted Heath Re: Sex abuse claims

I don't see that he 'would have being interviewed' as a particularly big deal - if allegations are in any way credible (and sometimes when they're not) people are interviewed etc. I do, however, feel a whole lot of very unpleasant stuff has been covered up for years and I doubt we'll ever scratch the surface of the scale of abuse, corruption etc. which has gone on amongst some very powerful people including senior politicians.

I have no doubt you are correct but this "IF" culture needs to be put to bed.

Don't waste resources on "IF" someone who is dead did this or that, concentrate on what is still happening now!

The investigation on historic crimes allegedly committed has cost millions which could've been better spent on current cases and ended up with convicting more of those still continuing this abuse.

The allegations would quickly dry up if there was no potential pot of gold on offer.....

Some would but there are an awful lot of attention seekers out there, you can't libel the dead after all. One of the alleged attention seeking fantasists might even end up going to jail
