It nearly came to horrendous crime. Luckily, the son of a bitch is dead now. I am still scared about now - and l am nearly 65. It took me 20 years to tell her half it
That will be with the child for life. I strongly believe that ANYONE who commits this crime against anyone whether they are 18months old - as it has been stated many times before, that this has happened up till 90 years.
I would bring back the death penalty - simple as that

Oh Arthur, that's terrible. People have tried to bully/abuse/harass me because of my disability throughout my life, but sexual abuse has never been a part of it. I can't begin to imagine what it's like.
I read your post last night and have respect for you for being so honest about this, not that you've done anything wrong. It's good that this taboo is at last being spoken about.
I've often wondered if it's worse for boys/men who have been sexually abused by men than it is for girls/women.
This is because as well as all the issues that females face, males have the added burden of being expected to be strong by society and fighting them off.
Because they couldn't, they may fear that others may think that they didn't mind it and are secretly gay.
I often have Radio 4 on in the background and thought of you this morning when an article about this very subject came on.
I've provided a link in case you want to listen to it. Amongst other things it touches upon help available, how relationships in adult life can be affected and the taint of homosexuality.
Interestingly, the vast majority of men who sexually abuse boys are connected to the church.
