City of London Police are investigating an alleged paedophile ring
that is believed to have infiltrated Croydon High School for Girls
and that has been linked to a prominent law firm in the City of
London.

Lovells, winner of the Los Angeles Business Journal and the
Euromoney European Women in Business Law Awards 2011, has been
named along with the prestigious Croydon High School for Girls in
connection with the arrest of a man 5 weeks ago.

Detective Constable 421 Sophina Hussain of Bishopsgate Police
Station is leading the investigation.

The arrested man, who has not been charged, is believed also to
have implicated a 57 year old Reigate woman in connection with the
distribution of child pornography. It is believed this
investigation is also linked to an alleged attempt to hire a hit
man in 2008, which made national headlines.

The man claims to have brought these allegations to the attention
of Surrey Police in December 2008 but says he was "warned off"
after a police officer was implicated. An officer from Caterham CID
threatened to frame him for the distribution of Class A drugs if he
opened his mouth, he said.

It is not known at this stage if any computers will be seized
either from Lovells or from Croydon High School in connection with
this investigation, which appears to have stalled while City of
London Police consider the best way to silence the man they
arrested but others are already beginning to wish they hadn't.

Please don't contact DC Hussain or DC Fisk at Bishopsgate because
they will refuse to comment.
