My stepmothers father was sentenced to 8 years last month.

[totallyhatefireworks]

He sent his computer away to be fixed, it was there that dozens upon dozens of child pornagraphy images were discovered, including 2 of his own granchildren (both aged 3) and his best friends son (aged 5)

I only met him once, 20 years ago, he gave me the creeps then, luckily I have nothing to do with him, or my stepmother and father, hope the rest of his life is a painful miserable one

Hi thf, sorry to say, but he'll be out in less than 4 years most likely .

My FIL is a convicted paedophile. Thankfully most of the family have cut all ties with him, but dh is determined to be civil although at the same time it breaks his heart to do so. And I'm stuck having to welcome him into our home periodically . It was family friends FIL abused over the years, so I know my children aren't safe.

Just be so so so grateful you don't have to have any contact with your stepmother's father.

Apparently just before he was sentences he sent his 2 daughters suicide letters (my stepmother and er sister) but my father decided he could not die as he needs to be punished, but hes a hypocrite because he too is a paedophile, unbelievable.

So sorry about the situation you find yourself in secret.

oops missed a bit off, my father called the police when the suicide letter arrived and he was caught just in time and put on suicide watch.

I know what you mean about the punishment thing, but fIL is still totally unrepentant and describes his time in prison as "that little upset", like it was a parking fine or something.

Dh has always said it would have been easier if he'd just died. We're hoping that happens soon tbh, but it doesn't look like he's going anywhere in the near future.

Shame they cant all be injected with a deathly non contagious disease on thier release from prison.
