Paedophiles in power: MP claims child sex ring had links to Downing Street. The Mirror can reveal a top level inquiry was launched a week ago into a possible paedophile gang at the heart of government.

Sex probe: Pervert Jimmy Savile
The Jimmy Savile paedophile scandal took a sensational new twist yesterday – with claims that a powerful child sex ring was linked to Downing Street .
Labour MP Tom Watson shocked the Commons by revealing a key member of the perverted group was a senior aide to a former Prime Minister.
And last night it was confirmed that officers investigating the sickening allegations against Savile are also probing a possible paedophile gang at the heart of government.
The Mirror can reveal that the top level inquiry was launched a week ago.
Mr Watson says evidence used to convict sex abuser Peter Righton more than 20 years ago contained far wider implications.
He told MPs: “The evidence file used to convict Righton, if it still exists, contains clear intelligence of a widespread paedophile ring.
"One of its members boasts of his links to a senior aide of a former Prime Minister, who says he could smuggle indecent images of children from abroad.
“The leads were not followed up, but if the files still exist, I want to ensure that the Metropolitan Police secure the evidence, re-examine it, and investigate clear intelligence suggesting a powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and No10.”
