Operation Midland police appeal for victims to come forward

The officer in charge of overseeing Operation Midland, an inquiry into allegations of historical abuse, has appealed for more victims to come forward.

The operation stems from claims made by a man known as "Nick", who says he was abused by a paedophile ring including high-profile people from the age of seven to 16 at a flat in Dolphin Square in central London.

Det Supt Kenny McDonald said officers who had spoken to him thought his account was "credible and true".

He added: "I need others to come forward and speak to us... you will be believed."
