Nick the VIP paedophile ring fantasist has just got 18 years in jail
A "manipulative" and "devious" fantasist who invented a murderous Westminster VIP paedophile ring has been jailed for 18 years.
Carl Beech, once only known in media reports as "Nick", was convicted of 12 counts of perverting the course of justice and one of fraud.
Beech made the claims of a Westminster VIP paedophile ring dating back to the 1970s and 1980s.
The Metropolitan Police investigated his allegations, raiding homes and interviewing alleged suspects - but the £2 million Operation Midland ended without making a single arrest.
Northumbria Police was later tasked with investigating his claims.
Beech's malicious deceit ruined the reputations of those he accused and led the Metropolitan Police to raid the homes of 91-year-old Normandy veteran Field Marshall Lord Bramall - the late Lord Brittan - and former Tory MP Harvey Proctor.
Mr Proctor blasted the force, calling the episode "a truly disgraceful chapter in the history of British policing".
