Transcript of interview:

"I'm Ceri-Lee Galvin. I'm from Wales. Well, the United Kingdom. In 2015, my biological dad was arrested for - at first, it was indecent images that the police found on his computer. From interviewing me, and a lot of pushing and persuading, I opened up to them about nine and a half years of sexual abuse that I ... that I had from him.

My father had targeted me, groomed me, and sexually abused me for as much of my childhood as I can remember. He took indecent images of me, naked images of me, and posted them online, shared them with other paedophiles.

From that, he was sentenced to ten and a half years, and four and a half years extended, by the judge in 2016 for the prolonged abuse that I suffered.

In early 2022, I had a phone call from my Victim Liason Officer, just out of the blue, I had no warning that the phone call was coming - and she informed me that he was now identifying as female and had changed his name to Claire Fox. Therefore, he was segregated from other male prisoners.

It ... it just doesn't make sense. It doesn't add up. This violent man, who had no shame in his genitalia before, when he was abusing me for many years, was now saying that he was a female? And I was to just accept that?

And it infuriated me, because I just thought, why should I have to accept that the man who sexually abused me with his own body, as a male, now was segregated from other prisoners after an altercation and was telling me that he was female? Yeah ... the shock is still there, to be honest. It's still ... it's confusing, if ... if nothing else, to be honest, as to where this has come from.

This was an extremely violent, egotistical man. He was violent, he was aggressive, he was ... and that was just in life anyway, that wasn't even just within the abuse that I received as a child. I was severely neglected by him.

And ... yeah ... I still can't comprehend it now, I still can't understand it. And, obviously I'm being told by these professionals to accept it and to understand it, but they ... they didn't see the nine and a half years of him being this masculine man that I endured. And to try and accept that is difficult, to say the least, really."

This is from the article on reduxx:

In the parole board’s decision, it was said that the circumstances of Bundy’s offending had been taken into consideration, and the suggestion was made that because he had targeted a family member, he would not pose a threat to other children.

The board appears to have formed the view that an offender with a long record of targeting his own child for his own sexual gratification will not target children outside of his own family. Upon sentencing, the defense lawyer told the judge that ‘he kept it within his family and therefore was not a risk to the community.’

Are they seriously suggesting that a man who has abused his own child should not be considered a risk to other children?

Is this the same warped logic when the police say a man who kills his wife is an 'isolated incident' and not a risk to the wider community? As if the victim isn't also part of society. Absolutely disgusting.

And changing his name to that or a House of Lords member who is a prominent advocate for women's rights is also revolting, reminds me of another TRA who changed their name to that of a feminist.

[RavingStone]

Oh my gosh. This is abhorrent! Why are they searching for reasons to absolve a man capable of such disgusting MULTIPLE crimes?

Family members are targeted because of easy access. How ignorant are the parole board? Do they really think he'll give up being a vile rapist now presumably no family will be near him? Or do they hope he continues to "keep it in the family" wtf.

And by being a transitioning rapist he has already showed disdain for women's boundaries. Isn't that a clue that he's a risk on release? I mean, not even all TRAs actually want to accept men like this becoming transwomen.

Jeez. A nonce will identify as a cardboard box if it means he's segregated from other men.

They know this. The prison service have said it.

Why the hell are they deliberately providing predators with this loophole?

Ceri-Lee wants the names of Clive Bundy and Claire Fox to be linked on official records. But the law requires us all to pretend that no such link exists — that, essentially, the convicted serial child sex offender no longer exists.

This has to change. The 'right to a private life' cannot be exploited so that convicted peadophiles are given access to further victims.
