Infiltration | Ep 4

Introducing... Hoaxed, the new series from Alexi Mostrous and Tortoise, who brought you Sweet Bobby. In 2014, two children told police a shocking story: that they were being abused by a Satanic cult; a cult headed by their father and by parents and teachers at their school in the wealthy London suburb of Hampstead.&nbsp;The story was a lie. But on the internet, that didn't matter.&nbsp; Hoaxed is an investigation into one of Britain's most serious-ever conspiracy theories. A story about a modern-day Satanic panic; about the victims whose lives were destroyed and about the&nbsp;conspiracists who spread the lie around the world.&nbsp;Oh, and it's about our hunt for the perpetrators - the people who forced the kids to lie - the ones who started it all.&nbsp; All 6 episodes are available now to listen for free.
