 In August 2006, a number of SSP activists came forward to claim that Sheridan had held meetings with them, where he made admissions inconsistent with his evidence in the court case, in particular admitting that he had had affairs and visited a swingers' club in Manchester.In October 2006, the "News of the World" released a videotape which showed Sheridan admitting that he had visited the club, and admitting that he had admitted this to the SSP Executive.On 2 October 2006, the Procurator Fiscal decided that there were grounds for an investigation into perjury, and instructed Lothian and Borders Police to proceed.
