Cyril Smith abuse claims: 'Whatever he said, you did'
A man who claims he was abused by former MP Sir Cyril Smith when he was aged 17 has said "you could not challenge someone like Cyril".
Eddy Shorrock said the abuse took place when he was living in the Cambridge Hostel in Rochdale, the town Cyril Smith was MP for from 1972 to 1992.
Smith died in 2010 aged 82. Greater Manchester Police say they have identified "a number of suspects" as part of an investigation into alleged sexual abuse at Knowl View School in Rochdale, which was linked to Cyril Smith.
Mr Shorrock said "the guy was guilty of everything he is being accused of".
