Was there fire to all the smoke about Ted Heath?

Stuff reports:

UK police would have interviewed former British prime minister Sir Edward Heath over 10 allegations of rape and indecent assault against seven men and boys, if he had still been alive today.

One of the alleged victims was 10 years old, and another was an 11-year-old he paid for sex, a police report released on Thursday said.

We’ll never know the truth, but if seven different people have made claims, and none are known to each other, you have to suspect there must be fire behind all the smoke.
