Jon Clarke (Publisher & Editor)

Jon Clarke is a Londoner who worked at the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday as an investigative journalist before moving to Spain in 2003 where he helped set up the Olive Press.

After studying Geography at Manchester University he fell in love with Spain during a two-year stint teaching English in Madrid.

On returning to London, he studied journalism and landed his first job at the weekly Informer newspaper in Teddington, covering hundreds of stories in areas including Hounslow, Richmond and Harrow.

This led on to work at the Sunday Telegraph, Sunday Mirror, Standard and even the Sun, before he landed his first full time job at the Daily Mail.

After a year on the Newsdesk he worked as a Showbiz correspondent covering mostly music, including the rise of the Spice Girls, the rivalry between Oasis and Blur and interviewed many famous musicians such as Joe Strummer and Ray Manzarak, as well as Peter Gabriel and Bjorn from Abba on his own private island.

After a year as the News Editor at the UK’s largest-selling magazine Now, he returned to work as an investigative journalist in Features at the Mail on Sunday.

As well as tracking down Jimi Hendrix’ sole living heir in Sweden, while there he also helped lead the initial investigation into Prince Andrew’s seedy links to Jeffrey Epstein during three trips to America.

He had dozens of exclusive stories, while his travel writing took him to Jamaica, Brazil and Belarus.

He is the author of three books; Costa Killer, Dining Secrets of Andalucia and My Search for Madeleine.

  1. what is the point of putting these people on crimewatch and in newspapers if nothing is going to be done about it , these men are walking the streets working nr children i think the police are wasting money on these adverts when the know thery can not arrest them, all this money can be used on something that needs it ,, but these men need locking up

  2. This guy (Wheatherley) drops his own son off at school in La Cala every morning. Olive press have a duty to report why this guy was convicted as there are a lot of nervous parents.

  3. To editor- why have you not followed up this story with any new information ie how big a threat is this guy? We have a right to know especially us parents who see him every morning.
    Thank you

  4. It is documented that Wheatherley sexually assaulted a school girl and served a 3 year sentence. His failure to report after being released carries a further 6 month sentence. Please can someone explain what the legal loophole is which is stopping him from being extradited?
    This man, a convicted sex offender, is allowed to sit outside the school every morning and afternoon, surely there must be something that the authorities can do to prevent him being allowed to be so close to our children!
    If they cant, then we must assume he has the same rights as every other parent and will be allowed to enter the school on open days such as the end of year fiesta. The thought of this makes my blood run cold!
