‘Kincora: Britain’s Shame’ alleges that MI5 and the British political establishment have attempted to cover up his involvement in a paedophile ring which operated out of Kincora Boys’ Hostel in East Belfast in the 1970s.
The book was written by former BBC journalist Chris Moore, who has investigated Kincora for over 40 years.
According to the book, five people claim that they were sexually abused and raped by Mountbatten, who was a great-uncle to King Charles III.
Moore writes in the book that two separate investigations into Kincora in 1975 were blocked by MI5 and the then Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC).
“Those investigations should have been allowed to grow then… For five years after that, boys continued to be raped and sexually abused.”
He also writes that secret government files on Kincora have been locked away, some until 2065 and others until 2085.
He said that the British intelligence services “need to reveal what they know”.
“What’s in the files? What is it they’re hiding? What do they want to hide? Did they know that boys were being sexually abused? Did they do nothing about it?”.
