Cressida Dick says she felt for officer who described Nick lies as 'credible and true'

The Met Police Commissioner has revealed she felt sorry for the officer who wrongly described the lies of VIP paedophile fantasist Nick as 'credible and true'.

Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick has admitted her force's shambolic investigation into the lies of VIP sex ring fantasist Carl Beech has damaged Scotland Yard's reputation Detective Superintendent Kenny McDonald, who described Beech as being 'credible and true' Ms Dick was line manager of the officer who set up Operation Midland, but she moved into counter-terrorism later in the investigation. The Met Police is set to release more of a 491-page dossier into its inquiry into false allegations made by Beech, pictured above Deputy assistant commissioner Steve Rodhouse, who oversaw the bungled probe, is now director general of the National Crime Agency Beech, a 51-year-old convicted paedophile, claimed he had witnessed three murders committed by members of the group, including by former MP Harvey Proctor. In July, after Beech was jailed for 18 years over his lies, ex-High Court judge Sir Richard Henriques told the Mail that officers used false evidence to obtain search warrants for the raids.
