[Child sex abuse claims against the former
prime minister Sir Edward Heath are to be
investigated by police, it has been announced.

Officers are to examine the handling of a claim against
the Conservative prime minister made in the 1990s,
the Independent Police Complaints Commission has confirmed.]

In a statement the police watchdog said: "It is alleged that a criminal prosecution was not pursued, when a person threatened to expose that Sir Edward Heath may have been involved in offences concerning children.

Why didn't they expose him then?.... :/

I assume in those days it was kept closed up

There were rumours about Heath at the time, whether they were true or not is anyone's guess, but this must be followed up as it is clear that cover ups did happen in that era, and the more strands uncovered, the more likely it is that it will never happen again.

PM says police can go 'as high as they like' that's nice of him.

'Police should be able to investigate child abuse allegations against high-profile politicians "without fear or uncertainty" of how high up in Government they can go.

David Cameron said police should be able to take action on any new information and urged anyone who knew anything about "these terrible crimes against children and young people" to come forward.

He spoke after it was disclosed that the former head of MI5 urged the Government to keep quiet about allegations of child sex abuse made against a senior MP in the 1980s.'

The amount of child sex abuse coming to light is terrible.
Anyone under suspicion should be brought to book, dead or alive.

I think they will , soon

[joeysteele]

'If' any of it is true in the first place, then it should be at least thoroughly investigated,although for the life of me,why was it not done so at the time allegations were raised near decades ago.

When has child abuse 'not' been a criminal offence in the 60s,70s,80s and 90s to the present.

Why all this when the individual is dead and can never be questioned or answer the allegations or defend themselves.

That's kind of especially appalling if this turns out to be true... yuck

If there is any truth in the claim, then going to the tabloids jeopardises any inquiry and makes me question the reasons for the claim.

Derek and Ted Heath are innocent until proven guilty.

However if there was claims about it at the time when he was alive then it should've been investigated, although with all of this information coming out now it's making it hard for any normal guys to walk around if their Niece, Nephew, Son, or Daughter nowadays without getting glares from people, I've not experienced it personally myself because of how young I am, but I know of people that have experienced that and it's disgusting and I blame people like Jimmy Saville and Rolf Harris etc who should rot in hell for causing this issue for the male gender.

In which universe would the media not pick this up though? It's a huge scandal for the establishment it says nothing as to the cases involved.

[bots]

I'm sure if there was a cover up that there will be some traceable evidence of it somewhere. Everyone knows that this was a problem and maybe it still is. It will all come out one way or another, so going to the press does nothing more than focus public attention on the issue. The more attention on it, the better as far as I'm concerned.

[Kizzy]

Do you mean the evidence from the 80s that was destroyed, the evidence that Theresa May admitted was part of a cover up?..

[kirklancaster]

These rumours involving Heath have been around for decades.

I think that many Rape crisis lines have been contacted down the years regarding Ted Heath - it will take all of these anonymous callers to come forward - many of whom have have ruined lives

Allegedly.

Exactly.

The way these things are conducted by the media is disgraceful,so called newspapers today for instance, have Edward Heath branded guilty already.
Yet as yet, there is not a single alleged incident that it appears could stand up in court.

Once the rotten media circus gets into full swing, it mystifies me then as to how it can ever really be,beyond all doubt,that anyone can be assumed to be guilty of such acts.

I really just don't know about this one but this is yet another scenario where the 'alleged' abuses can never be put to the person,who has all this going on as to them without ever being able to defend themselves against same.
