A Tory MP tried to keep his sexually abused daughter quiet by committing her to Broadmoor where she was assaulted by Jimmy Savile, it is claimed.

Ralph Bonner Pink has been accused by his adopted child of being a child sex offender who could have been connected to a paedophile ring.

He was Conservative MP for Ports­mouth South for 18 years until his death from bowel cancer in 1984, at the age of 71. He also served as a councillor, alderman and mayor of the naval port and was a magistrate.

Today his adopted daughter reveals he abused her when she was aged under 10. When he thought she might unmask him, she claims, he packed her off to private schools, a mental hospital then Broadmoor when she was just 16.

She was born ­Alizon Pink but is now a trans­sexual called Steven George. Steven, 62, is offering to testify to ­Baroness ­Butler-Sloss, 80, who is heading an inquiry into ­allegations of historical child abuse.

Bonner Pink is widely believed to be named in the missing document on suspected paedophiles collated by the late Tory MP Geoffrey Dickens.

Outwardly he was a popular MP, at home a paedophile; They made me wear suspenders when I was seven

Steven said from his home in Ports­mouth yesterday: “Outwardly my father was a popular Conservative MP but behind closed doors he was a ­paedophile who ruined my early life, abused me and then had me shut away in Broadmoor.” Savile visited Broadmoor regularly in the 1970s and ran the entertainments department. He sexually abused Alizon in a day room while they were watching Top Of The Pops.

Steven added: “I don’t know but I strongly believe my father abused ­others because of his appalling behaviour and I have discovered he knew other paedophiles.” He has had to research his childhood medical files to substantiate his claims of abuse for his book Heartless Too, to be published at the end of this month by York Publishing.

He had a childhood memory of being taken to hospital aged three to receive stitches for a wound to his genitalia.

Bonner Pink’s wife Rita, a former chairwoman of Portsmouth NSPCC, claimed her adopted daughter had fallen on some stiletto shoes. Steven said: “I am in no doubt I was abused by an adult in the family house but I cannot remember who because I was too young.”

He says Rita, who died in 1998, used to force seven-year-old Alizon to dress in adult underwear, including suspenders. His father, he says, played classic paedophile grooming games with him, putting his hand on his leg and asking what he would do if a boy did that.

However, he could not turn to Rita for help. He writes: “Her attention was conditional on my compliance and acceptance of her emotional abuse.” Yesterday he said: “They were trusted to care for me but they abused me physically and mentally. As you can imagine I had a very confused childhood. I had no one to turn to and when I started to tell ­people of the strange goings-on I was shut up.

“I think they desperately wanted me out of the picture and so I was packed off to private schools and when I ran away from them I was sent to a mental ­hospital.

“In a cry for help I ran away and set fire to a house to get locked up in a prison when I was 15. I made sure no one would be hurt but I wanted to get away from the hell of my life.

“I regret it now bitterly and want to apologise to the home owner but it was an act of desperation. I was due to get probation for the offence but my father worked behind the scenes and had me sent to Broadmoor and I was branded a psychopath.

“It was a calculated act on his part to get me shut away for as long as they could. He had an awful lot to lose, the prestige of being an MP, the possibility of promotion to the Cabinet.

“I wasn’t prepared to keep quiet so it was better to get me shut up in Broadmoor, where I was abused by Jimmy Savile and others, not that my adoptive father or mother cared.”

Steven was released from Rampton and Broadmoor in 1990 and has been trying to rebuild his life, even contacting his natural mother.

In his book, he writes: “My natural mother had felt betrayed, in that she had given me up for adoption and that the adoptive parents went out of their way to destroy me, in their misunderstanding and mishandling of me, along with their abuse.”
