Sir Peter Hayman, former British diplomat involved in
Old Bailey paedophile case

A top British diplomat was the focus of a secret Government file about his 'unnatural' sexual behaviour, it was revealed today.

The file, which has just been released to the National Archives, names the late Sir Peter Hayman as the subject of a file prepared for then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Sir Peter died in 1992 after a career working as a diplomat including as High Commissioner to Canada. He also worked for intelligence service MI6.

He was outed as a paedophile in the House of Commons after being let off with a police caution despite being found with a trove of extreme pornographic images which he shared with other child abusers.

He was named as a child abuser by the campaigning  MP Geoffrey Dickens in the 1980s. He also had links to the controversial Paedophile Information Exchange which campaigned for sex with children to be legalised.  (more...)

“It is clear that Sir Peter Hayman was already engaging in sexual perversion in 1966 when he returned from Berlin to the Foreign Office.”

“It must be presumed that he was doing so before that time. He would of course have been especially vulnerable in Berlin.” ie Cold War pivot
