Five police forces now investigating child sex abuse allegations

Five police forces, including Jersey's, are now investigating allegations of historical child sex abuse against former Prime Minister Sir Edward Heath.

Jersey Police have confirmed he is among 13 high profile people named as part of their inquiries.

Today, those representing victims in the island say there are still many unanswered questions.

From what I've been told through the years that I've been dealing with this, it's rumours. People have been saying Ted Heath had been involved in a paedophile ring in Jersey abusing boys in Jersey on a boat, but it's rumours. Something substantial has had to come about in order for this to go public.
