A Sussex pensioner has been arrested as part of a major police investigation into an alleged VIP paedophile ring with political links.
The man, named locally as 70-year-old John Stingemore, was in custody last night.
Operation Fernbridge officers from the Metropolitan Police swooped on Stingemore’s home in St Leonards on Monday morning and arrested him.
Stingemore, who is understood to have lived in Bexhill and then St Leonards since 2002, is believed to be a former deputy head of Grafton Close children’s home in Barnes, south London, which is at the centre of the abuse allegations.
