This is my abuser, Paul Ward. When I was 13 years old, Paul abused me by grooming me online sexually for just over a month (March/April 2014). He was in his mid-thirties at the time.
I am autistic and have mental illnesses. He started abusing me after noticing the cuts on my arm and finding out I self harmed.
He bonded with me by talking about video games and music, gaining my trust by buying me games and listening to me when I struggled.
His questions started off quite innocent, asking me if I had a crush on anyone and who I had been with before. He then started asking what kind of sexual stuff I had done and if I masturbated.
He then started describing his daughters sexual development and behaviour.
Then he started telling me his sexual fantasies about me, some really hardcore stuff and traumatising stuff, including fucking me while unconscious.
This went on for a month and he continued to abuse me throughout the time, once even meeting me in an attempt to follow through on his sick fantasy.
On the 20th of April 2014 I had a mental health episode and he left because it was “very difficult for him to cope.”
I have told the police about this and they said they cannot do anything. So now I just want to show his face. Even if no one sees it, I have told my story.
But my request is that people do circulate this so more people can know what my abuser did.
His name is Paul Ward and he is from Glasgow, Scotland.
