Children at Risk: The Secret Double Life of a Paedophile

This documentary delves into the life of Peter Righton, who was once a respected figure in child protection until his involvement with illegal activities came to light. It uncovers his role as a founding member of the Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE) and details the grave consequences of his actions, including the abuse of children at a boarding school.

Through interviews and investigative reporting, the film highlights the failures of those in Righton's professional circle who chose loyalty over accountability. His confession of past abuses to colleagues raises troubling questions about the effectiveness of child protection measures during that era. This film serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced in safeguarding vulnerable individuals and the systemic issues that can arise within institutions meant to protect them.
