AT LEAST five police forces were investigating claims of child sex involving former prime minister Ted Heath yesterday.
Detectives in Wiltshire, London, Kent, Jersey and Hampshire are looking into abuse allegations linked to the late politician.
He became the most high-profile figure linked to allegations of historical paedophilia on Monday when the police watchdog announced an inquiry into claims that a prosecution was shelved after a threat was made to “expose” him.
A woman named in reports as Myra Ling-Ling Forde, from the Philippines, had been due to stand trial in the 1990s for running a brothel, but the case was allegedly dropped when she threatened to name Mr Heath.
Ms Forde was later convicted on two separate occasions of offences related to running a brothel from a residential property in Salisbury.
Scotland Yard has refused to confirm suggestions that Mr Heath is being looked at as part of Operation Midland, a Scotland Yard inquiry into claims that a VIP paedophile ring operated in the 1970s and 1980s.
