POLICE have reopened an investigation into claims a South Australian MP is a pedophile.
The investigation had been given a high priority following recent claims by the SA Parliament's Speaker, Peter Lewis, state Police Commissioner Mal Hyde said
Mr Lewis has alleged video footage exists of the MP having oral sex with a boy in Adelaide's south parklands, a known gay haunt.

He also claimed two gay men, recently found dead in Adelaide, had told him of a homosexual MP who favoured young boys.
The claims were dismissed by police last week as unsubstantiated, saying they had been investigated in 2003.

But Mr Hyde said today police had reopened the 2003 investigation.
"Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) previously investigated the allegation in 2003, and the allegation was not substantiated," Mr Hyde said.
"However, with regard to recent claims relating to this allegation, the ACB investigation has been reopened to investigate any new material that may be provided.
"Police recognise the public interest in the matter and are treating the investigation as a high priority, to be completed as soon as possible."

Mr Lewis said last week that claims the MP was involved in pedophile behaviour were made separately by Robert Woodland and Shaine Moore, who were both gay.
Mr Woodland, 36, was bashed to death last December in Adelaide's south parklands. His murder is unsolved.
Mr Moore, 33, was found dead in his north suburban Adelaide house on February 25 this year in what police say were suspicious circumstances.
Police interviewed Mr Lewis last Wednesday about his claims.
Mr Lewis intimated the deaths of the two men suggested the MP could be a murderer as well as a pedophile.
Mr Lewis met Mr Woodland and Mr Moore through his role as instigator of an inquiry into the sexual abuse of wards of the state.

Yesterday, it emerged the inquiry being held before a retired Supreme Court judge would also investigate claims a judicial official abused his son and offered him to pedophiles.
Adelaide academic Bob Moles said that claim emerged from interviews with two female health workers two years ago.
The allegations emerged out of inquiries into various claims of abuse by staff at an Adelaide state institution.
"One of these people was the son of a judiciary official, who said when he was at home he was abused by his father and then he would be taken to a party where other people would abuse him," Dr Moles said.
Dr Moles said the alleged abuse appeared to have taken place in the early to mid-1990s.
