Whistleblowing ex-officers from the South London Child Abuse Investigation Team (CAIT) said a horde of illicit videos were discovered during a raid, showing a string of men having sex with the paedophile’s wife.

“It was quite apparent from the footage that they weren’t aware of what was going on,” said former detective Tom Coling, the lead officer in the case.

Among the men secretly filmed was a Met Police officer.

“He was in full uniform and had his radio going, which indicated that he was on duty at the time,” said Tom.
