The royal family has been hit with shocking allegations of a fresh pedophile sex scandal, as detailed in a new book by journalist Chris Moore titled “Kincora: Britain’s Shame – Mountbatten, MI5, the Belfast Boys’ Home Sex Abuse Scandal and the British Cover-Up.”
The book brings to light disturbing claims from four former residents of the Belfast children’s home, including Arthur Smyth, who accuses Lord Mountbatten of sexually abusing and raping boys as young as 11 during the summer of 1977. These allegations have resurfaced just hours after Prince Andrew, 65, was reportedly cleared by the FBI in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
Kincora Boys’ Home, notorious for allegations of organized sexual abuse and exploitation of vulnerable children, saw only three senior staff members prosecuted and jailed in 1981 for abusing 11 boys. Despite evidence of numerous victims and reports of high-profile visitors, survivors and activists have long accused authorities of orchestrating a cover-up to protect powerful figures.
Lord Mountbatten, also known as Dickie, has been linked to the Kincora Boys’ Home by former resident Arthur Smyth, who named Prince Philip’s uncle as his alleged abuser. Smyth recounted how McGrath, a staff member at the home, introduced him to Mountbatten, who allegedly sexually assaulted him. Another survivor, Richard Kerr, claimed he was trafficked to a hotel near Mountbatten’s Classiebawn Castle in County Sligo, where he and another teenager were assaulted.
Tragically, one of the victims, Stephen Waring, died in what was ruled a suicide after he reportedly jumped overboard during a ferry crossing. Kerr disputes this ruling, stating that Waring would never have willingly taken his own life, as he was a fighter.
Moore’s book also features accounts from two other alleged victims, shedding light on the lasting trauma and pain experienced by survivors of these horrific abuses. The knowledge that perpetrators like Mountbatten escaped justice only adds to the anguish felt by these men.
The revelations in Moore’s book serve as a stark reminder of the deep-rooted issues of abuse and cover-ups within institutions of power, and the urgent need for accountability and justice for survivors.
