I was in the cubs around 1978 when I was 10-12 yrs old I think. On day one I was told to meet one of the leaders on the stage behind a curtain. He asked me to lower my trousers and underwear and asked me to tell him how it felt.

On another occasion we were on a visit outside. He took me to one side around a corner and asked me to drop my trousers. He bit my penis, that is all I remember as I have tried to forget. Nothing else happened, I think I left shortly after and never told anyone.

I hadn’t thought about it until I saw the BBC article which led me here.
