Colin Gregg: Listen to the police interview where abuser denies sex attacks on boys

Abuser Colin Gregg claimed he was the victim of a 'police witch hunt' as he continued to deny sexually abusing young boys.

His latest trial heard how he was first accused in 1997 of sexually assaulting a boy, but was acquitted at Newcastle Crown Court.

A year later another boy accused him of similar conduct, but a judge decided the case should not go ahead.
