Elm Guest House – “Mary Moss” files

This is another significant post from Chris Fay, who has campaigned tirelessly to bring sexual abusers of children to justice, about a document on Elm Guest House in Barnes which has led to fevered speculation on the internet about a cover up of prominent figures who could have sexually abused children there.

Fortunatley there are a lot of honest officers in the Met and the SS’s who have not destroyed file but have done the reverse.’
