man, 70, jailed for historic sex abuse james greenland last updated 13:00 29/11/2013.
share a nelson man has been jailed for six years for historical sex offences against his young stepdaughter.the victim spoke in the nelson district court at the sentencing of stephen robert carter, 70, this week.. she described the deep psychological trauma she had lived with as an adult as a result of his controlling and manipulative sexual abuse in the family home.. she explained the difficulty of living under a "burden of secrecy", unable to tell anyone about what carter did to her because of the effect it would have on his high standing within the nelson jehovah's witness congregation.. carter had admitted seven charges, including representative charges of rape, sodomy, inducing a girl under 12 to do an indecent act, permitting a girl under 12 to do an indecent act on another male, and counts of committing an indecency with an animal, and being party to an indecency with an animal.. the court heard that carter converted to christianity about three years after ceasing the sexual abuse, which he initiated under the false pretence of sexual education when his stepdaughter was 10 and 11.. in one of the first instances of "grooming", carter showed the victim his semen under a microscope, the court heard.

Superb Hate Mail
by God_Delusion inhi guys,.
why do people send me silly hate mail?
if you're going to send in hate mail, at least have the decency to use proper grammar and back up any claims with evidence.. goodness me, i thought it was just the jehovah's witnesses that sent nasty emails, now i'm getting it from their spin-off groups!.
