Story: Policing the unacceptable - Bringing paedophiles to justice
Posted by: Anonymous (Sunday 15 January 2006, 1:03 AM)
How do you go about reporting someone for paedophilia when you are very scared of that person? My husband has been addicted to pornography, and in particular child pornography, for many years. When my daughter was just 12 years old (seven years ago), he answered a phone call and forgot to close down the images he had been viewing on his computer. My daughter went to use the computer and was confronted with the most disgusting image. When I asked him to seek help for his obsession, he became very abusive. Since then he has been very,very careful about clearing his internet cache and temporary internet files; and he never downloads images onto his computer. He copies them onto cd, so there is never anything left to prove what he does. As far as I know, he never pays for anything by credit card, but has got many contacts/free internet sites who suply him with free pornography. In my heart I know he will hurt someone some day. He has a real problem with any woman who is not very young and attractive, and quite often rude to them. He has no friends, the only person he ever goes out with is his brother. They even go on holiday together. We have been married for 26 years and every friend I have known in that time has been driven away by him because he has no social skills towards them. His only thought is are they worthy of having sex with or not. If they are not, he's not interested in being nice and polite to them. He does not see any woman as a person. My daughter's friends no longer visit the house much like they used to, because almost every time they did, he would want to take group digital photographs of them. He would say he was taking them for my daughter, but I knew what he wanted them for. He never took any of my son and his friends. He also writes disgusting stories for an internet site. I found a print out of one of them in one of his files recently. He signs his name very similar to his own, but enough not to be recognised. The story was about two very young teenage girls who were shoplifting. Needless to say, the male security guard took them into his office and you can imagine what happened. It was absolutely disgusting.
My health has become poor over the past eight years. I have high blood pressure and generally feel like crying. There is no way out for me, I'm not mentally strong enough to face much of the outside world these days, I feel so ashamed. I just need to concentrate on looking after my two children until they are financially able to look after themselves.
I wonder how many other women out there are going through what I am?
