Madeleine McCann cops ‘did nothing’ about Clement Freud connection… Despite victim warning them TWO years ago
Rape victim Vicky Hayes told Suffolk police she was concerned about Clement's link to the McCanns in 2014
MADELEINE McCann cops were warned of paedophile Sir Clement Freud's connection to the case two years ago - but reportedly "did nothing".
Vicky Hayes, one of the disgraced politician's victims, says she warned Suffolk Police about the sex attacker after hearing about his relationship with the McCanns.
The 64-year-old, who was groomed and raped by Freud when she was a teenager, said she felt "very uneasy" after discovering the monster had cooked for the McCann family at his holiday home in Praia da Luz, Portugal.
Vicky told ITV News: "I read Kate McCann's book and was immediately upset and anxious that Clement Freud had invited the McCanns to his home.
"He was a private man, not the type to suddenly befriend a couple who had intense media attention. It really jarred with me, left me feeling very
uneasy. He had a home in Praia da Luz, but why invite them and cook for them?
"Nobody else would have thought Freud capable of abuse and rape but he did it to me. He was capable of anything."
The concerned victim warned Suffolk Police and her son wrote to the Metropolitan Police, but neither received a response.
After the former broadcaster was exposed as a paedophile on Tuesday night, Vicky has slammed cops for not probing her concerns.
She said: "I'm angry the police were dismissive of my information.
"I have a six-year-old granddaughter, a young girl like Madeleine. If you have something you feel needs to be looked at you have to tell someone.
"That's what I did. That's why I contacted the police, when I read Kate McCann's account, I wanted the detectives to know what I knew about Clement Freud.

"My purpose was for officers to investigate why he invited them. It needs investigating if Freud had any involvement or knew anything."
On Tuesday it emerged Freud, who died in 2009, spent years abusing a girl he brought up as a daughter, and violently raped a teenager when he was an MP.
Calls have been made for Freud's connection to the McCanns and Praia da Luz to be probed as it emerged the pervert had a villa near where she went missing.
Freud befriended the McCanns in the weeks after their daughter disappeared in 2007, entertaining them at his house twice and keeping in contact by phone and email.
The sex attacker's son said his dad had been in the UK the night Madeleine disappeared.
Freud's widow Jill, 89, said she was "deeply saddened and profoundly sorry for what has happened to this women".
It came as it emerged there could be many more victims yet to come forward.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: ";Following the transmission of the documentary this evening (15 June), the MPS will make an assessment of the allegations to ensure the safeguarding of anyone at risk, and also consider if any criminal investigation is required to bring any living persons to justice."
Suffolk Police have been contacted for comment.
