  • Summary


  • In 2014, two children told police a shocking story: that they were being abused by a Satanic cult; a cult headed by their father and by parents and teachers at their school in the wealthy London suburb of Hampstead. 

    The story was a lie. But on the internet, that didn't matter. 

    From the team who brought you Sweet Bobby, Hoaxed is an investigation into one of Britain's most serious-ever conspiracy theories. A story about a modern-day Satanic panic; about the victims whose lives were destroyed and about the conspiracists who spread the lie around the world. 


    Oh, and it's about our hunt for the perpetrators - the people who forced the kids to lie - the ones who started it all.
