voiceforchildren: Former SIO Mick Gradwell.

Now that the Committee of Inquiry into the decades of child abuse in Jersey is well underway and taking evidence from witnesses. Team Voice thought it would be a poignant time to reflect on the actions/behaviour of former Senior Investigating Officer Mick Gradwell.

Regular readers will be aware that Mr. Gradwell took command of the Child Abuse Investigation (Operation Rectangle) after the retirement of former Deputy Chief Officer, and Senior Investigating Officer, Lenny Harper. Mr. Gradwell, in an unprecedented move, went on to trash the original Investigation with the help of the local State Media and achieved little else other than to replace the mistrust of the police that Mr. Harper and his team had gained from Abuse Victims/Survivors.

It was Mr Gradwell who told us that the 65 children's teeth found up at Haut de la Garenne were left there for the tooth fairy despite some of the teeth NOT being shed naturally. It was also Mr. Gradwell who told us, in a  PRESS RELEASE,  that the cellars up at Haut de la Garenne were not cellars but along with former Deputy Bob Hill B.E.M Team Voice showed him to be less than genuine in a Blog Posting HERE.

It also became apparent that (during the LIVE Child Abuse Investigation which he was heading up) Mr. Gradwell was leaking confidential information to a "journalist" David Rose, who has a history of supporting convicted paedophiles, and had already written articles trashing the Child Abuse Investigation before Mr. Gradwell was in position as SIO.

The revelation of Mr Gradwell's unprofessional, and possibly illegal, leaking of information came about as a result of a Scrutiny Review held by former Deputy Trevor Pitman, former Deputy Daniel Wimberley and Deputy Roy Le Herissier. The resultant report to that review has been hailed as possibly the most defining report of its era. It can be read in its entirety HERE. The Report also exposed the local State Media for its disgraceful "JOURNALISM."

Extracts from the report and its transcripts are a damming indictment on the disgraced former SIO, Mr. Gradwell, to include;

Bollock Deep In A Fairy.

The metropolitan police have recently(?) obtained a video of a sex party,
rumoured to have taken place over 30 years ago, at elm house, south london.

Allegedly, 3 or 4 boys aged between 9 and 14 were dressed as 'fairies'
and passed around a group of men for sex.

A cabinet minister, that served in the thatcher government, has been identified and questioned by police this christmas period.

All well and good but this has been known about for years.

The jimmy savile investigation(s) answered many questions but raised so many more about the uk's secret services, ex prime minister, edward heath and the children of Jersey.

Why has it taken this long for the children to be believed ?

Are paedophiles and other abusers in positions of power being protected ?
By whom and for what purpose ?

Who, in their right minds would protect abusers and rapists of our children.
Someone has...and still is.

And they be powerful.
