You're welcome blond. It's definitely good that the girls got justice. They would have needed that to help start the healing process. I know I did when I was raped. I just feel incredibly sad and sorry for his son. Having no contact with his father for 7 years is going to take a toll on that kids life for sure. Knowing that his father is a rapist is going to have a profound effect on his...

Seven years doesn't seem enough, I remember seeing my rapist sentenced to four years. He would have gotten more if some of his other victims had come forward before it went to court. I want to put this behind me, and I'm sure in a few days I'll be feeling somewhat better about the whole thing. I'm just so tired of men thinking they can take advantage of women like this. A friend told me that...

I really don't know what made him do this hellcowboy. There are some garbled details coming out now (though I don't know how accurate they are) that he had no contact with his grown children when they were kids because he molested one or more of them. I would like to know whether thats actually true, or a story that someone made up in light of his sentence. To know that he was a friend, a...

I did trust him with my kids hatley, he was wonderful with them. He'd walk in the door and they'd all yell out his name and swarm around him. He almost had to fight to go sit down. Those were good memories of him that I had. I still remember my daughter sitting proudly beside him when she was 5 years old, reading from a book she was reading in school. She looked so pleased with herself when...

I agree that it's scary enough to hear about a crime, especially one of this nature. Being that much closer to it, and also knowing that he was very dear to my young children at one point makes the whole thing so much harder to swallow. Even now, it just doesn't seem real - but I know it is.

I too, have to admit that I'm glad he got the punishment he deserves. Those girls have closure and can start to put their lives back together again. I feel real sorry for his son. I don't think he would ever have gotten hurt by his father. Having him so late in life really made him so proud and he was always a wonderful dad - but that kid may just hate his Dad by the time he gets out of prison.

You've made a very good point about not trusting people on the internet, yet we invite people we think we know into our homes without a second thought. It's always those ones that we seem to have to watch out for the most. Betrayed is what I'm feeling right now. I think back to when I sat and told him what had happened, and when I'd done, he had tears in his eyes. Then a few years down the r...

I haven't spoken to him at all. I don't live in the UK any more and so it's kinda hard for me to get in touch with him ... even if I wanted to. I in all honesty, can no longer remain friends with him, knowing what he did. In doing what he did to those girls, he lost my friendship. The reason for that being that I am a victim of rape .. though not at his hands obviously ... but knowing what t...

I hear ya Sndcain. Finding out that a cherished trusted friend is not who I thought he was, came as a real shock to me. I would have trusted that man with my life at one point you know? Turns out I couldn't even trust him with my memories.

He was a good friend, heck, he was one of my closest friends at one point you know?I think the letter writing idea is a good one. I can ask my friend which prison he's in, and write to him there. There will be no need for me to tell him what happened to me all those years ago though. He already knows that, and thats a big part of why I feel so sad and upset about this whole incident.
