A powerful paedophile ring in Downing Street alleged by Tom Watson MP has revived memories of a sinister child sex network, the Paedophile Information Exchange, that infected areas of public life nearly three decades ago.
It was a network that was believed to include a sex offender and senior aide to prime minister Margaret Thatcher and who was referred to in parliament by Watson. The Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) campaigned for the abolition of the age of consent.
The West Bromwich East MP named Peter Righton as the link between the child sex ring and the senior Downing Street aide. Righton was also a member of the PIE. He was convicted of importing child pornography from the Netherlands in 1992.
Watson called for a new police investigation into the alleged ring. In parliament, he cited evidence in the trial of Righton and called for the case file to be reopened if possible.
Watson said: "Though Righton was the subject of a 1994 BBC profile, The Secert Life of a Paedophile, little had been done to follow up the leads from the case. A specialist unit in Scotland Yard had the material which supplemented a wider investigation into organised paedophile rings in children's home."
