Thatcher confidant raped boy and police covered crime up

[LeftishBrit]

One of Margaret Thatcher’s closest confidantes raped a teenage boy 30 years ago but escaped justice when Scotland Yard covered up the crime, it has been alleged.


Police are investigating claims that Sir Peter Morrison lured the 14-year-old to London and sexually abused him in a guesthouse reportedly used by a Westminster paedophile ring.


A former Conservative minister, Morrison was first exposed as a serial child abuser in 1998, three years after he died from a heart attack. But the MP for Chester was never charged with any crime during his lifetime. ...


The man, now a married businessman, is the first of Morrison’s alleged victims to speak publicly. His disturbing story is backed up by his parents and is being investigated as part of Operation Fairbank, set up by the Met two years ago to probe suggestions that high profile political figures had been involved in organised child sex abuse....

2. What IS it with these right wing politicians?

They mouth words about "family values" and then they rape children.
It makes me sick.

4. No statute of limitations on sex crimes in England & Wales.

He can be charged and tried (I'd be surprised if this didn't happen) ... unlike some US states that have a statue of limitations on a variety of crimes.

I know this is an aside issue but with Bill Cosby being in the news for his alleged sexual "indiscretions" would we be seeing him in the dock if no statute of limitations existed in the states where he is alleged to have done his crimes?

But still - Scotland Yard needs investigation for its alleged cover up of the matter. At least.

5. Peter Morrison escaped prosecution by dying young in the 1990s; but no doubt other people will be

prosecuted.
