Strachan is being held at maximum security Belmarsh Prison
ONE of the men accused in the Royal sex and drugs blackmail case is being held at Belmarsh Prison.
Ian Strachan, aged 30, is accused of plotting to blackmail a member of the Royal Family, along with 40-year-old Sean McGuigan.
The alleged victim cannot be named for legal reasons.
The suspects are accused of demanding £50,000 not to release tapes in which an aide allegedly claimed the Royal performed a sex act on him.
The two are alleged to have met the royal aide at London's Hilton Hotel to negotiate selling the footage, which is said to have been made on a mobile phone.
But the pair were arrested by undercover police officers last month and are due to appear at the Old Bailey on December 20.
