Exaro: The British Website that Fomented a False Abuse Scandal
Exaro, a British website, was at the center of a false abuse scandal that led to a £2 million probe and the jailing of its key witness, Carl Beech. The website’s coverage of the allegations, which included claims of a paedophile ring composed of powerful individuals, was widely criticized. Exaro’s editor-in-chief, Mark Watts, stood by the website’s coverage, but the damage had already been done.
