Abused by his AF at the age of 6 - until it was discovered by his family which resulted in HIM being punished, as well as losing contact with his AF who was a positive presence in his life.

Went on to be involved in teenage homosexual games, and raped on a merchant ship where he was working at the age of 16, he had a series of relationships with women which resulted in a number of children, almost all of whom he has lost contact with.

He became a Christian unrelated to his sexual issues and that didn't really resolve them - and he continued to offend with boys and girls. His life then got somewhat stabilised before a historic offence resulted in a further prison sentence, since the end of which he has been able to rebuild a reasonably stable life, though is seriously lacking in friends or church support.

He has been through the mill in terms of having his home trashed and forced to run from a braying mob on different occasions. He has also completed the Sex Offender Treatment Programme which the UK Probation service runs for convicted offenders. He gives an insider's view of the programme, which is seems broadly in favour of. He also writes a lot of good advice about how the church and society should (and doesn't) cope with all the issues which the existence of Paedophiles raises for them.
