Sir Edward Heath abuse allegations: Brothel owner denies threatening to expose former Prime Minister
KASHMIRA GANDER Wednesday 05 August 2015
A brothel owner who allegedly threatened to expose former Conservative Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath as a child sex abuser has denied the claims, and said she was unaware of any wrongdoing by the late politician.
Myra Ling-Ling Forde has been widely named as the brothel owner who reportedly escaped prosecution in the early 1990s, after she threatened to expose Sir Edward as a child abuser.
She was later received two convictions for offence relation to running a home in Salisbury, Wiltshire.
However, in a statement released via her former solicitor she said she had no prior knowledge of allegations of misconduct by Sir Edward, and denied threatening to use his name to avoid prosecution.
