Detectives investigating historic claims of child abuse linked to Elm Guest House and the Grafton Close care home in London arrest two men on suspicion of sexual offences.

The arrests of the men, one age 66 from Norfolk and the other aged 70 from east Sussex, were made as part of Operation Fernbridge, which was launched after concerns were raised by MP Tom Watson.

Speaking in Parliament in October last year, he said that a file of evidence used to convict Peter Righton of importing child pornography in 1992 contained “clear intelligence” of a sex abuse gang.
