The very brave Ceri-Lee Galvin interviewed by Andrew Gold.
Content warning: CSA.
Ceri-Lee's abusive father was imprisoned, and transitioned while in prison. He gave permission for his daughter to be told:
'Had Bundy not given permission for Ceri-Lee to know his new identity — more power-play, and an example of his coercive and controlling tactics — neither she or the rest of her family would have had any idea that Bundy had “disappeared”, replaced by a woman called Claire.'
Bundy gained early release due to his transition, and shockingly, his new identity as a 'transwoman' meant that his crimes were erased from his record:
'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.'
