He was questioned about if he was worried that his actions had hurt his stepdaughter and his family. He was also questioned about his motivation.
“The misunderstanding is that you had to go on a training scheme automatically when my step-daughter left school back in the 1980s,” he said.
“But because she was pregnant, we were able to manipulate the situation so that she finished early and went directly to benefits instead of continuing on to the Youth Training Scheme.”
“It made it sound like I benefited,” he added, attempting to defend the odd setup. “I did it for her benefit.”
He described in detail how he concealed the whole vile circumstance from his family. “My mother and wife were the only ones who knew,” he said. Everything was revealed in February 2020.
