Nicolas Glencross was a British-born French priest who was the uncle of [[Peter Glencross]], the commercial agent for [[John Stamford]]'s [[Spartacus International]] responsible for turning the [[Elm Guest House]] into a Club Spartacus spa bath. Nicolas Glencross was arrested in 1989 during an investigation into [[Michel Caignet]] and his [[Toro Bravo]] associates for using his rectory in the French commune of Saint-Leger-des-Vignes to take softcore child pornography photographs of the type Caignet had published in [[Gaie France]].[^1]
Glencross was politically connected to the French Presidential Palace. President [[Francois Mitterrand]] had sent his most trusted advisor, Hubert Vedrine, to live at Glencross's parish to help establish him as a municipal candidate in Saint-Leger-des-Vignes and kickstart his political career. The connection between Nicolas Glencross and the Toro Bravo neo-Nazi pornographers was through Pastor [[Joseph Douce]]. After Glencross was charged in early July 1990, a bookstore operated by Douce called Autres cultures was placed under surveillance to discover possible links with pedophile networks, in particular with a network based in Holland.[^1]
