‘Electrocution and drowning were some of their tools, when I was bad and broke their rules.’ ibid. Beech
In 2014 Carl Beech, a seemingly unremarkable man from Gloucester, perhaps better know by his pseudonym Nick, claimed he had been the victim of a VIP paedophile ring in the 1970s and ’80s. So who was Carl Beech, and why did he choose to go public with this extraordinary story? ibid.
In 2012 Beech told Yorkshire Police he had been sexually abused by his step-father, by Jimmy Savile, and by some other men he called The Group. After a brief investigation, Wiltshire Police dismissed Beech’s allegations but not before Beech had submitted a compensation claim for the abuse he had suffered. Two years later he began writing about his abuse online. ibid.
Beech named twelve men he said had abused and raped him … high-ranking members of the military … politicians and members of the establishment … another was Sir Edward Heath. ibid.
A month later doubts about the story began to emerge in the press. ibid.
