A former police officer involved in the 1992 arrest of notorious paedophile Peter Righton claims letters found at his home pointed to a child abuse network involving public officials and clergy.
Terry Shutt, a former detective  constable with West Mercia Police, said five suitcases stuffed with  letters found at the property in Evesham, Worcestershire suggested  Righton was in touch with an extensive network of individuals who wanted  to abuse children.
Righton,  who died in 2007, was a social work expert and founder member of the  Paedophile Information Exchange, who campaigned to decriminalise sex  with children.
 
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
    
 Claims: A former detective constable involved in  the 1992 arrest of notorious paedophile Peter Righton (pictured) says  letters found at his home pointed to a paedophile network involving  public officials and clergy
 
 
Mr  Shutt was working as a detective constable when officers raided the  home of paedophile Righton - who was once considered to be one of the  country’s most respected authorities on child care.
As  well as images of child abuse, they found five suitcases full of  letters, which Mr Shutt says pointed to be him belonging to 
a much wider  paedophile network.

 ‘In  amongst all the other documentation, there was a definite link to  establishment figures, including senior members of the clergy,’ he told  BBC’s Today programme this morning.
‘So  for me there was a definite feel that this was something bigger than we  were looking at locally and that it should have been investigated  further,’ he added.
    
	
	
	
		
		
		
		
	
	
    
 
 Yesterday campaigner Peter McKelvie said he told  police in 2012 that West Mercia Police were storing seven boxes of  potential evidence about Righton
  
The  Metropolitan Police did investigate the letters, but the now retired Mr  Shutt says many of the most important leads were not followed up.
He claims it was seen to be more important to protect the establishment.
A  confidential Hereford and Worcester Social Service report from the  1990s said the letters from Righton’s home suggested 
links to clergy,  civil servants, social services and and education staff, according to  the BBC.
The  Met Police last night it couldn’t comment on the case, but a police  source told from the time told the BBC that claims the investigation was  deliberately shut down were ‘nonsense’.
Yesterday  Peter McKelvie, a campaigner who first raised the alarm about prominent  individuals engaged in child sex abuse two years ago, said he told  police in 2012 that  seven boxes of potential evidence about Righton were being stored by  West Mercia Police.
 He claims he told officers these boxes might contain evidence of further  abuse by senior members of the establishment.
Speaking in public for  the first time in 20 years, the former local authority child protection  chief also said there were still people in power who were involved in  child abuse two decades ago.
