A father falsely accused of abusing his two children as part of a "satanic cult" has spoken of the "horrific, horrific" allegations he faced.

In an exclusive first interview, Ricky says he is still receiving death threats from people who believe the claims.

Ricky - we are not publishing his full name in order to protect his children - said the first he knew about the allegations was last September when he was told to go to a police station.

The claims - that he had led their abuse by a large "satanic cult" in north London - had been made by his children in mobile phone recordings and two police interviews. Their names and videos of them making the allegations were also widely circulated online by their mother and campaigners.

But in March, a Family Court judge dismissed the claims saying the children had been forced to make the allegations by their mother and her new partner.
Mrs Justice Pauffley said she could state with "complete conviction" that none of the claims were true. "The claims are baseless. Those who have sought to perpetuate them are evil and/or foolish," her judgement said.

In this clip he explains what was alleged – warning: contains a graphic description.
