A Sick couple forced their 11-year-old son to join them having sex to try and stop him from being gay. The parents, who have not been named to protect his identity, made him watch them in bed and take part in various acts. His father told police it was because he wanted to keep his son ‘on the straight and narrow’. He and the boy’s stepmother were jailed , for six years and nine years respectively.
Judge Maria Lamb heard that the victim had initially told the police what was happening to him in 1998 but his father lied to detectives and he was not believed.
Judge Maria Lamb heard that the victim had initially told the police what was happening to him but his father lied to detectives and he was not believed. The judge described the lies as a “betrayal of your son.”
Years later the victim, now an adult aged in his 30s, complained again to the police in 1998 and this time the father and the boy’s step-mother were both arrested and charged with a string of sex offences.

The father and step-mother sat in the dock at Reading Crown Court as prosecutor Ruby Silva described to the court how, in caring for the child, they had begun a routine of humiliating sexual assaults from when the boy was aged 11 years.
Ms Silva read aloud a statement from the father’s initial interview with police, citing how he had claimed the abuse was to “keep him on the straight and narrow path,” following the couple’s irrational fear of their son being a homosexual.
The court heard how the father, who was convicted of charges of child cruelty and indecent acts with a child, had allowed his then girlfriend to involve his son in routine sexual acts as part of an “ill-founded sex education.” She was charged with child cruelty, indecent assault and indecent acts with a child.
