Margaret Hodge, leader of Islington Council, 1982-1992 during which time children were
being sexually abused in all twelve children's homes in the borough as well as being
taken out of the homes for 'parties'. Margaret never noticed even when some lowly
social workers brought the situation to her notice. She was later awarded a safe Labour
seat and made Minister for Children, a post created for her by her close friend Tony Blair
In 1992, the Evening Standard published allegations about widespread sexual abuse in
childrens homes run by Islington council. It said every home contained staff who were
paedophiles, pimps, or child pornographers. The leader of Islington council, Margaret
Hodge, dismissed the story as gutter journalism, and accused Evening Standard
journalists of waiting outside homes to bribe children for their stories with 50 notes.This
led to a whole series of inquiries, most of which were conducted by Islington council
themselves and were not to be taken seriously. The Evening Standard kept the pressure
on Islington council, reprinting stories and also making fresh allegations, until an
independent, external inquiry was announced, led by Ian White, the head of
Cambridgeshire Social Services.

In 1995 the White inquiry published its findings, which proved the Evening Standard
right about its allegations. This was despite Islington councils best efforts to frustrate the
inquiry and cover their tracks, including hundreds of vital files going missing. There was
one allegation, however, that the White report didnt support. Social workers had
identified 61 children who were thought to be involved in organised, network abuse:

Islington police were asked to investigate allegations of a wider paedophile network and
report back to the White inquiry, but they concluded there was insufficient evidence to
support the allegation of network abuse at that time. page 41 of the White report, 1995

This is hardly surprising given the number of files that had disappeared from Islington
Councils archives. Its also likely that the police werent allowed to properly investigate
organised paedophile networks. Off the record, the police admitted as much:

JUSTICE DENIED: Islington heart of pedophile scandal

The police agree at least three of the men we highlighted belong to child sex rings. But
they simply dont have the resources to investigate. (from Eileen Fairweather
article Passport to Perversion)
A Sunday Times article from August 1993 said that there was evidence of a wider
paedophile ring:
Britains biggest police inquiry into organised sexual abuse of children has been
launched by Scotland Yards Obscene Publications Squad.
The investigation into networks of paedophiles who have been paying for sex with boys
and girls, has uncovered several groups across London and other parts of southern
England who link up to swap information and abuse children. For the past five months
officers from the squad have secretly liaised with directors of social services in more
than half a dozen London boroughs amid fears that organised gangs have targeted
vulnerable children in their areas.
Several of the most prominent offenders under surveillance are wealthy businessmen.
They have been linked to a sex ring abusing young people living in childrens homes in
the London borough of Islington.
The police inquiry has produced evidence that the north London borough has been a
magnet for child molesters over the past few years, as a result of the councils lax
control over the young people in its charge.
As far as Im aware the police investigation didnt lead to any convictions. If there had
been arrests, it would have been covered in the national media. Its very possible that
the investigation was stopped, just as the Peter Righton investigation was stopped a
year later. The whole sequence of events is shrouded in secrecy, and only a few key
insiders like Michael Hames, then head of Scotland Yards Obscene Publications
Squad, could say what really happened. Another person who would know what
happened is Michael Howard, the Home Secretary at the time, who had overall
responsibility for policing.

Michael Howard
The missing files were very convenient for those in Islington council who wanted the
paedophile scandal to go away. In those files lay the only hard evidence showing which
could have led to connections with other paedophile rings across the UK. Michael
Howards was well know to be involved with the drugs dealer Hass and Bennet through
his Liverpool based cousin
There are several indications that Islington was connected to a wider paedophile
network. In 1986 an Islington council social worker, Abraham Jacob, was jailed for his
part in a paedophile ring that supplied young boys to the notorious Meat Rack in
Londons Piccadilly Circus. The arrest was part of a long police investigation called
Operation Circus that ended up convicting fifteen men for sexually exploiting children
Abraham Jacob
In November 1985, fourteen year old Jason Swift was murdered by Sidney Cooke and
other members of his paedophile ring. Jason was a runaway and had been homeless for
around 6 months before he died, so his exact whereabouts were unknown. Years later,
the journalist Eileen Fairweather was told by two separate sources that Jason stayed at
Islington councils Conewood Street home. Islington council cannot confirm this as the
records showing who stayed at Conewood Street have also gone missing.
Sidney Cooke
Due to the missing files, nobody can check which local authorities Islington sent children
to, but some evidence remains in the form of statements from children who were in
Islingtons care.
At least one boy was taken to New Barns School, an independent boarding school in
Gloucestershire, where paedophile and PIE member Peter Righton was governor, and
where Rightons partner Richard Alston was headmaster. Alston resigned as
headmaster after Rightons 1992 conviction for importing child pornography. A music
teacher at New Barns School, Alan Stewart, was convicted of sexually abusing girls in
1994. Despite allegations of widespread sexual abuse at New Barns School, the CPS
decided there wasnt enough evidence to bring charges.

Peter Righton
After Rightons 1992 conviction, he and his partner Richard Alston were invited to stay at
Lord Hennikers estate in Eye, Suffolk. Righton lived there until his death in 1996. Lord
Hennikers estate was run as a childrens activity centre, and Islington council had been
sending children there for years.
These Peter Righton connections are deeply sinister. Righton had risen to the top of the
social work establishment and had powerful connections in residential care homes
across the UK. Before the Righton investigation was stopped in 1994, it was described
as one of the biggest child abuse inquiries ever involving police and social services
from across the country co-ordinated by Scotland Yards Obscene Publications Squad.
They ae investigating a network of gay intellectuals who are believed to have run child
sex rings for decades through schools and childrens homes.

One social worker Liz Davies said "In Islington disadvantaged children were sent on
holidays to a place in Suffolk called Eye. This was called the Islington/Suffolk Project
and I became involved in an investigation with police when Peter Righton, already
convicted of possessing abusive images of children, was living with his partner on a big
country estate where the children were sent. I was told there was a sign outside the
estate saying 28,000 Islington children have had holidays here.
In Islington, some children made trips to Nick Rabets activity centre in Sussex. He was
the deputy manager of one of the Islington homes and he also owned this activity
centre. Groups of children were taken there. Later he was convicted in Thailand of
abuse of 30 boys.
I became aware of other trips to areas outside London Cambridge ,Canvey Island,
Blackpool and Brighton were among the destinations. As a senior social worker
managing a team, I asked many questions at the time; Who sanctioned the trip? Who
paid for it? Did the parents know? Where did they stay? There were clear council
protocols for approving holidays and trips for children in care. Once, after I had long left
Islingtons employment, I was listening to Talk Radio and heard an Islington survivor
speak of being taken to childrens homes all across the country, being sexually exploited
and abusive images were taken. This made me very sad as it was what I had strongly
suspected was happening but had not been able to prove at the time."
Nick Rabet was deputy supervisor at Islington councils Grosvenor Avenue home. Rabet
was widely suspected to be a paedophile, and despite many allegations, Islington never
took the proper steps of having him investigated. Rabet was born in Jersey, and often
took children there on unauthorised trips from Islington childrens homes.
After Rabet left Islington he set up a childrens recreational centre at a country house
near Heathfield, East Sussex. Islington council sent many children there for days out.
One of Rabets circle, Neil Hocquart, became a volunteer at the centre. Hocquart was
from Guernsey, and killed himself in 1991 after being raided by police and found with
over 100 child-sex videos and 300 photographs of naked boys. One of the boys was a
10 year old in Islingtons care.
Rabet and Hocquart were networkers, involved in the supply of children for
pornography and abuse. Hocquart was connected to a powerful Jersey paedophile ring,
which included an aristocrat, clerics and a social services chief. A list of members of this
paedophile ring was given to Scotland Yard & NCIS on 4th January 1996, but the
information was never acted on.
Other than Rabet, at least two other Islington social workers were also from Jersey. It
seems unlikely that so many Jersey social workers would end up working in north
London by coincidence alone.
When the East Sussex activity centre started attracting attention from the police, Rabet
fled to the notorious Pattaya resort in Thailand, where he was eventually charged with
abusing local boys, some as young as six years old. He was found dead in May 2006,
Thai police said it was suicide but the details of his death sounded suspicious:
A Foreign Office spokesman confirmed that a British citizen had been found dead,
adding: Local police believe the death to be suicide. He had a plastic bag over his
head and his wrists locked to his ankles, according to a report in Thailands Nation

newspaper.

As leader of Islington Council, Margaret Hodge was responsible for allowing children in
Islington councils care to be preyed on by paedophiles. Unbelievably,
Tony Blair made her Childrens Minister in 2003.

The Islington child abuse scandal came back

to haunt her and she was attacked in the media but refused t
o resign. Watch Hodge grin and lie her way through this 2003
TV interview:

Expect more denials and excuses from Margaret Hodge if
the Peter Righton file thats now being investigated proves
that Islington council was central to a vast paedophile network.
