Paedophile's Evil Deeds Exposed in Harrowing TV Special
16 Feb
Summary
- Showcases decades of historic child abuse by Carson Grimes.
- Viewers reported being physically sick and disturbed by the content.
- Bedfordshire Police investigated Grimes after bones were found.

The documentary series '24 Hours In Police Custody' recently aired a deeply disturbing two-part special titled "Horror House," focusing on the crimes of Carson Grimes. This installment, which led to a schedule change on Channel 4, exposed Grimes' decades-long pattern of sexual abuse against vulnerable young people in Luton, Bedfordshire. He preyed on individuals by offering them alcohol and drugs before subjecting them to abuse.
Viewers reacted strongly on social media, with many describing the episode as "sickening," "brutal," and "the worst they've ever seen," with some reporting feeling "physically sick" and unable to continue watching. The investigation by Bedfordshire Police's rape and serious sexual offences team was reignited when bones were discovered in the garden of Grimes' former property, prompting a deep dive into historic abuse cases.
Carson Grimes, who is serving a minimum of 22 years and nine months, was first investigated years ago. The "Horror House" episodes highlighted the bravery of victims who came forward, some after remaining silent for up to 30 years. Detective Inspector Clare Gilbert described Grimes as a "classic Jimmy Savile" type, manipulating systems and victims, and expressed doubt about his potential for rehabilitation.
The documentary also featured victims sharing their struggles with trauma, self-blame, and the long-term psychological impact of Grimes' actions. One victim stated the show gave them the courage to seek justice after decades of silence. The judge at his sentencing expressed the hope that Grimes would never see the light of freedom again.
