Jim McMahon MP publicly accused me of covering up child abuse. He said it was confirmed by official reports. No Serious Case Review mentions me. Not one Safeguarding Unit has ever published my name.
He published this at the precise moment I was campaigning on shaping the terms of the national grooming gangs inquiry to include investigating politicians involved in the cover up. The timing was not coincidental.
For nearly eight years I have exposed institutional cover-up of the rape gangs. I have paid a price for refusing to look away. My home was repeatedly dawn raided by the police. I spent three years on bail. Every allegation against me collapsed in court. My mother died before I was cleared.
Now a senior Labour MP is claiming my 'record' is that of covering up child abuse.
His lawyers claim there is no requirement for him to prove the truth of his allegations.
I am taking him to the High Court. I need your help to get there.
Every pound goes directly to legal costs. Nothing else.
I launched a crowdfunder this morning. In nine hours, 361 of you raised £9,600. That is extraordinary. I know they are watching. Good. I want them watching.
If you can give something, give it today while the momentum holds.

If powerful politicians can accuse campaigners of covering up child abuse, claim it is confirmed by official reports, and never have to prove it, they will keep doing it. To me. To others after me.
This is the line.
