Brief Description of the ‘Hampstead Case’

Abuse is alleged to centre mostly around Christ Church School and its adjoining church though 7 other schools and other churches are alleged to be involved too, with abuse and murder said to be taking place also in secret rooms/cellars in private Hampstead homes and local shops namely, McDonalds and a coffee shop - also, a local swimming pool and a tennis club are also mentioned.

Mother Ella Draper and her children Q and P reported the above allegations to Barnet Police London early September 2014 after the children had disclosed abuse at the hands of their father Ricky Dearman and multiple others, to mother and her partner Mr Abraham Christie two weeks earlier, while on holiday in Morocco. Since their father had threatened to kill them, were they to ‘talk’, it is evident from their original allegations that a certain degree of force needed to be employed by Mr Christie to persuade the children to disclose and this occurred in the presence of and with permission of their mother.

Medical evidence confirms repeated and long-term sexual abuse of both children and who are noted also as suffering from serious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

The children were immediately placed under a protection order and removed from their mother's custody.

Several days after the original allegations were recorded, Barnet police paid a visit to Christ Church School and Church searching for certain items alleged to be held there but nothing was found.

By then, the case had been relegated to the Family Courts and after interviews with CAFCASS officers (who are among the alleged abusers), the children retracted their allegations and Barnet police once again interviewed the children who confirmed their retractions.

Unlike the original allegations, the retractions do not match; they are largely inconclusive, especially concerning Q who clearly has much difficulty in stating that no babies at all were killed, as at no point does he accept that NO babies were killed. P starts her police retraction interview with: "What do you want me to say?"

In light of the original, serious allegations, P's opening question in the police retraction interview is most damning and is itself, evidence of possible coercion.

The Family courts subsequently decided to send both children to Foster Carers, with the mother's contact limited to twice monthly and the father's (alleged abuser, baby killer and leader of a paedophile, Satanic Cult) contact increased to weekly.

The Court accepted the evidence of the medical reports, yet no further investigations ensued as to who had sexually abused the children. Barnet Police closed the case with ‘Crime not confirmed’ on 22 September 2014.

Once in care, both children are reported by foster carers to be suffering symptoms of PTSD. Both children retract their retractions while in foster care and reaffirm their original allegations. The mother, Ella Draper is informed of the renewed allegations and acts on the advice of an experienced retired police sergeant.

After months of getting nowhere via regular ‘competent’ authorities at local level, the case was transferred to Mrs Justice Pauffley in the Family Division of the High Court. Mrs Pauffley decided that it should remain closed, that the Judicial Review should not be pursued, while an ‘intervening’ Local Authority suggested that all evidence and tapes to be destroyed. Hence the mother and her McKenzie Friend acting on the combined strength of professional advice and the EU Directive (which supported their Human Rights of Free Speech), decided to alert the public as the only remaining ‘competent’ authority available and capable of demanding action towards investigating this case.
