Elite Predators: From Jimmy Savile and Lord Mountbatten to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell
In 1966, Lord Mountbatten granted Jimmy Saville access to the highest levels of the royal family. What did they have in common? They used their prestige to abuse vulnerable minors, while relying on their power and establishment connections to remain untouchable.
In 2022, Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison after she had procured teenage girls for Jeffrey Epstein and his predator pals. Their connections included the most powerful people in the world, ranging from royal family members such as Prince Andrew to former presidents including Bill Clinton.
While the mainstream media protects the innermost circles of the establishment, this book reveals the harrowing truth of elite child molesters and the calculated methods they employ to conceal their horrific activities, which often span decades.

About the author
Shaun Attwood
77 books358 followersIn prison, I read over 1000 books in just under six years, including many literary classics. Books were the lifeblood of my rehabilitation.
As told on National Geographic Channel's Locked-Up/Banged-Up Abroad episode "Raving Arizona," I used a tiny pencil sharpened on a cell door to write the first prison blog, Jon’s Jail Journal. My writing, smuggled out of the jail with the highest rate of death in America, run by Sheriff Joe Arpaio, turned the international media spotlight on the human rights violations, including guards murdering mentally ill inmates, dead rats in the food, lack of medical care...
Raised in a small chemical-manufacturing town in northern England, I was the first from my family to go to university. As a penniless graduate, I took my business degree to Phoenix, and worked my way up to become a stock-market millionaire.
But I also led a double life. An early fan of the Manchester rave scene, I headed an organisation that threw raves and distributed Ecstasy. On May 16th 2002, a SWAT team knocked my door down.
Facing a life sentence, I entered a lengthy legal battle. After two years of being held unsentenced, I was convicted of drug offences. Sentenced to 9½ years, I served almost 6.
I had only read finance books prior to my arrest. While incarcerated, I submerged myself in literature. By studying original texts in psychology and philosophy, I sought to better understand myself and my past behaviour.
Released in December 2007, I continue to campaign against Sheriff Joe Arpaio. I keep my blog, Jon’s Jail Journal, going by posting stories mailed to me by my prison friends.
In July 2008, I won a Koestler award for a short story, which I read to an audience at the Royal Festival Hall.
I presently live near London, and talk to schools across the UK about my jail experience and the consequences of getting involved in drugs and crime.

As good as his others
A potted history of elite paedophiles and how they got away with it. Truly chilling reading. Can be read alone but I would recommend reading the war on drugs series from the beginning to see the threads come together on a disturbing pattern of abuse and law breaking by people from the very top echelons of power and celebrity.

Sexual predators
A frightening look into the minds and the actions of sexual predators. Human trafficking is a vastly unreported phenomenon in our society. Perhaps this depravity has existed for centuries or even millennia, but the effects of social media, instant internet communications and easy travel/trafficking makes this scourge a modern epidemic. Beware your sons and daughters.

This book was well researched. It's absolutely frightening of how money, power and corruption can ruin so many lives.
