Matthew Kelly’s holiday home raided in child sex inquiry

POLICE in Sri Lanka were last night sifting through dozens of videos seized from the holiday home of TV presenter Matthew Kelly.

Officers from the country’s National Child Protection Authority raided Kelly’s £100,000 four-bedroom house in the suburb of Colombo on Saturday and took 54 video tapes and a computer.

NCPA chairman, Harendra De Silva, said the raid followed a tip-off from a British journalist.

The ‘Stars In Their Eyes’ presenter was arrested and bailed by Surrey Police last week on allegations of sexual abuse of boys under the age of 16 during the 1970s.

Kelly, 52, denied the claims and solicitors, acting for him, refused to comment on the Sri Lankan investigation.
