Ted Heath ‘raped me when I was 12′: Former Prime Minister accused of attacking a boy in 1961 as it is also claimed police dropped case against brothel madam to ‘cover up his child abuse’

Sir Edward Heath was today accused of raping a 12-year-old runaway as police faced a corruption investigation into whether they let off a brothel madam who threatened to expose him in the 1990s.

The alleged rape victim, now 65, claims he was walking along the A2 in north Kent in 1961 when the former prime minister slowed down and asked if he wanted to stay at his flat in Mayfair.

He claims two months after the alleged attack he went to the authorities who dismissed him as a ‘fantasist’ and a ‘liar’.

It was only four years later he recognised Sir Edward as his alleged abuser when he saw a photo of him in the paper sharing a joke with Margaret Thatcher and Tory peer Dame Pat Hornsby Smith.

The man, who cannot be named, spoke out after it was revealed police are being investigated over sensational claims they covered up separate child sex allegations against the former Tory leader .... http://www.dailymail.co.uk
