LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 14: Lord Greville Janner leaves at Westminster Magistrates' Court on August 14, 2015 in London, England. The 87-year-old ex-MP, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2009, is due to appear in court in relation to 22 charges alleged to have taken place from the 1960s to the 1980s. Lawyers for Lord Janner argued in the High Court that he was too ill to attend court but judges ruled that his attendance was in the public interest. (Photo by Rob Stothard/Getty Images)

Senior Rabbi to Reform Judaism Laura Janner-Klausner has said it “makes me sick” to see her late father subjected to false allegations of sadistic child abuse, after his accuser was convicted of lying to police.

Rabbi Janner-Klausner said the allegations made by Carl Beech, 51, once only known in media reports as “Nick” when he alleged the existence of a VIP paedophile ring in Westminster that abused and even murdered children, had had “an enormous impact” on the family.

Beech accused security chiefs and senior politicians, including Lord Greville Janner, who died three years ago, of being part of the ring.

But the Metropolitan Police, which investigated his claims, raided homes of suspected abusers and interviewed alleged suspects, as part of the £2 million Operation Midland, ended it without making any arrests, jurors at Newcastle Crown Court heard.
