A blogger who helped push a conspiracy theory alleging that parents and teachers in Hampstead could be part of a Satanic paedophile ring claims he was “in character” as he gained an online following.

Rupert Wilson Quaintance, an American from Charlottesville who gained a following running blogs and vlogs on the matter, was jailed in 2017 after being found guilty at Southwark Crown Court on two counts of harassment.
