The court heard that Mr Jenkins’s parents died when he was very young, and he then went to live with his grandparents. He described the criminal process as a “living nightmare”, but the jury’s verdicts meant he could “try and move on from this chapter in my life although I’ll always bear the scars and the emotional turmoil that Paul Craven put me through”.
He said Craven was his mother’s brother and should have protected him, but instead “chose to abuse that trust and do things of a sexual nature to him”.
