stopping a paedophile in his tracks, protecting a five-year-old from further harm and gaining justice for those of us that he had already harmed was worth every damned penny. Oh yes – and you asked, ‘What on earth is that going to do to protect the public now?’. Well, in my case, it stopped a predatory serial paedophile from going on to abuse and rape his 5-year-old grandchild. And who knows how many others he had already started on? There was nothing historic about his offending. He had been doing it for over 20 years, was still doing it and I have absolutely no doubt that he will still be up to his old tricks. Thank heavens he was convicted and spent a little time At Her Majesty’s Pleasure (I do apologise – you had to waste some money putting a roof over his head and feeding him). Luckily in terms of your budget it was only for 2 and a half years. He was actually sentenced to 9 years but I guess in the interest of saving money for better things, the system works well to ensure you can cut back here and there. I am afraid, and this may hurt a little, but some money was wasted during the investigation and trial. Despite my best efforts, and the provision of the name and place of work of a key witness who could confirm that I told her of the rape when I was 15 years old, the police did not feel it merited making contact with her. That first trial resulted in a hung jury and an awful lot of money had to be spent on trying again. Luckily, I saved the police a job, and a bit of time and money and I tracked that witness down and handed her name, address and phone number to the investigating officer. That witness did the decent thing and provided a statement to the court. The prosecution barrister confirmed that her evidence was crucial to getting the guilty verdict. If only we had that firsttime round – we could have saved a bob or two. And so, I will sign off for now. I would hate to take up too much of your time and your tax-payer-funded salary. I would dearly love to sign my name here. I have no desire to be anonymous or to hide and it is not an indication of shame. I have one reason and one reason only and that is to protect my young daughter. She does not know my history and as her mother it is my loving duty to protect her. To make sure she does not hear, see or experience anything that she is not mature enough – chronologically or emotionally – to receive. I will not 4
isk harming her by foisting sexual matters on her before she is ready and that she has not given me consent to share. Because that’s what all responsible parents and adults do, right? Unless of course one is a paedophile. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours truly A Survivor A Mother A Wife A Sister A Daughter A health care professional Not a money waster 5
