A man who alleged he was a victim of a historical child sex ring involving high-profile figures including senior political and military individuals has been charged with perverting the course of justice, prosecutors said on Tuesday.
British police launched a major investigation in 2014 after the man, who cannot be named and has only ever been known by the pseudonym of “Nick”, told detectives he had been abused at military locations and at apartments close to parliament.
He also said the paedophile gang had murdered three young boys. The allegations led to ex-lawmaker Harvey Proctor and former army chief Edwin Bramall being identified as suspects in the media after police searched their homes.
