A police raid on Dolphin Square in London’s Pimlico area in 1985 uncovered a small-scale film studio in the living room of a first-floor apartment. Officers were acting on a tip-off that a boy, aged about 11, had been taken into the premises against his will. A forensic examination came to nothing. However, a few months later a sickening sex video was seized in the West End in which an officer recognised the flat as the location. In the 15-minute film, two welldressed men are filmed from the neck down abusing a boy of about 11. A number of alleged victims have come forward to claim they were taken to flats in the riverside complex in Pimlico and abused by MPs and other members of the Establishment.

A WPC matched photos we had taken of the flat with one particular video showing a young white boy of about 11 being raped Former Detective Inspector Geoff Platt

One former victim, now in his 40s, says a young boy was strangled to death there. A police insider revealed last night: “Officers [from Operation Midland, the Met investigation into a paedophile ring at Westminster] have been told the Met raided a flat and stumbled on lighting equipment and a camera. They are taking this very seriously because it could provide a vital breakthrough. “Photographs were taken and officers later matched it to one used in a video where a young boy was raped by two smartly dressed men [with] a third who was filming. Their identities are still a mystery as is that of the poor boy.” The raid was carried out by West End Central police on the lookout for a runaway from Soho. One of the officers present was former Detective Inspector Geoff Platt, who retired in 2001 and is now a successful author.
