A former official from the UK’s social services has said that an alleged pedophile network in Westminster and Whitehall was ignored because “there are too many of them over there.”
David Tombs, a former official who ran Hereford and Worcester social services for 20 years, warned the government about the possible pedophile network after the arrest of notorious pedophile Peter Righton in 1992.
Tombs claims he became aware of the pedophile behavior through a police investigation.
“I had no particular names, but that was the impression I was getting,” he told a BBC Radio current affairs program.
“It was coming across to me at the time that there were names linked into the establishment, if you like,” he said.
But when he approached representatives from the Department of Health, he was told that he was “probably wasting his time” as there were “too many of them over there” in Westminster and Whitehall.
