MI5 connivance in Kincora House child sex abuse

Pat Mustard

This was on Channel 4 news earlier.

Richard Kerr spoke out about child sex abuse, telling how he had been abused at Kincora Boys' Home in Belfast in the 1970s. In 1977, at the age of 15 he and two other boys were trafficked to London, to face further abuse. The other two have since committed suicide.

Mr Kerr, who was a victim of abuse at Kincora Boys' Home in Belfast, has claimed he was also attacked at the Dolphin Square luxury apartment complex and Elm Guest House, both in London.

It is thought to be the first time that the three places have been linked in relation to claims of historic sex abuse by influential Westminster figures.

What makes his story unusual is that he alleges that high profile politicians were involved and he tells of subsequent intimidation by law enforcement personnel.

Last month Richard Kerr also told Channel 4 News that police had tried to stop him testifying at a trial where three staff were jailed.
In 1981, three senior staff at Kincora - Joseph Mains, Raymond Semple and William McGrath - were jailed for abusing 11 boys. Mr Kerr told Channel 4 News " two plainclothes policemen" visited him before the trial.

He said: "They came to my home and they removed stuff from my drawers, and they put me in a car and they took me to the police station and they interrogated me, put me in a cell for seven hours and as they removed me from my cell, they made it clear to me that I'm not to talk about this and that I'm lying and not to tell lies, and I felt they were giving me a warning. The case was coming up... and they didn't want me to come to the trial".

During the Channel 4 story, Mr. Kerr also met a former British military intelligence officer who had wanted to expose the abuse but was warned off by MI5:

Mr Gemmell was warned off revealing the paedophile activity at the east Belfast home by Ian Cameron, a senior MI5 officer, who told him this was not a matter for the intelligence services or the army to be concerned with. Now Mr Gemmell believes it was part of a cover-up of sex abuse by top people. He suspects that the intelligence services used such dark secrets as a way to control abusers who were politically influential. As a captain, Mr Gemmell put in an official report about Kincora to a senior MI5 officer. But to his astonishment he claims he was ordered to stop digging and forget about it. He now feels that he should have exposed it, whatever the consequences for his army career.

"That's the thing that hits me. That if I'd really pushed the thing through in '75, '76, you could have been rescued. I'm sorry," he tells Mr Kerr in tonight's Channel 4 News.

British authorities have decided enquire into the happenings in London and the happenings in Belfast separately but have decided not to enquire into the cooperation between the pederasts in Belfast and London.

Link:

But the Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers, has ruled out the Kincora claims being part of that inquiry. Her decision is being challenged in the High Court here. Justice demands that she should change her mind and agree to the demands of these men who say they were grievously abused as vulnerable boys.

It is outrageous where there had been a situation with vulnerable boys being abused, trafficked and exploited by privileged individuals, with apparent connivance by police and MI5, that the British authorities now refuse to investigate the connection between the abuse in Belfast and the abuse in London and have failed to empower the Belfast tribunal to summon witnesses.

Yes especially seen as, sensationally, this article from Leo McKinstry also alludes to victims being taken from care homes in Dublin.
