The Metropolitan Police are probing serious sexual abuse allegations made by a man, referred to as Jay, regarding an incident that occurred in the 1970s at the former Edmonton Leisure Centre. Despite disclosing the details to medical professionals over two decades ago, Jay approached the police only last year. He was in care at the time and recounts a traumatic event involving an assault by a man he believes worked there. His experiences have severely impacted his mental health, leading to various emotional challenges and a sense of anger towards the authorities for failing to address his past.
He remembers a teacher approaching him some time later and saying his friend had reported the attack to her but he has no memory of any action following that.
I don't know who to turn to, he explained. You don't know who's going to believe you.
I am angry with the authorities because I believe that they failed me, Jay said. It's affected my life ever since.
You don't know who to turn to, he explained. You don't know who's going to believe you.
