Pedophile Politicians Were Shielded From Justice by the Establishment, Says British Child-Abuse Inquiry

LONDON—Britain’s political and legal institutions covered up serious allegations of child sex abuse by turning a blind eye to evidence of pedophile attacks and protecting serial abusers who were part of the political establishment, according to an inquiry report published Tuesday.

Margaret Thatcher promoted a top aide and knighted him despite knowledge within the Conservative party that Sir Peter Morrison was an active and dangerous pedophile. The Liberal and Green parties were also accused of failing to deal with pedophiles in their own ranks.

The report by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse concluded that members of London’s political elite valued the maintenance of their reputations more highly than the fate of children who were exposed to serial offenders. They found failings that stretched more than half a century from the 1960s up until 2017.

“It is clear to see that Westminster institutions have repeatedly failed to deal with allegations of child sexual abuse, from turning a blind eye to actively shielding abusers,” said the chair of the inquiry, Prof. Alexis Jay. “A consistent pattern emerged of failures to put the welfare of children above political status.”

The inquiry, which was established in 2015, found that there was a culture of deference within law-enforcement agencies who were unwilling to challenge senior politicians.

Cuccinelli announced in July that the agency had reduced the consultation time period for asylum seekers planning for credible-fear interviews from 48 hours to “one full calendar day from the date of arrival at a detention facility,” according to the ruling. The suit, filed by Democracy Forward and the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc.,
