Children at Risk: The Secret Double Life of a Paedophile

Overview

Peter Righton, once a respected child protection expert and social care worker, fell from grace when customs discovered illegal material being mailed to him from Europe. This led to the revelation that he was a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). Further investigations uncovered that he had abused children at a boarding school. Shockingly, Righton confessed to past abuses to his child protection colleagues, but they failed to act on this information out of loyalty to him.
