I was raised on a farm at M246 Springbank rd. Bullarook, about 12 km's outside of Ballarat. My parents were Harry and Eileen Banwell, and my siblings were Dianne, my older sister, Mark, my older brother, Luke, my younger brother and Fiona my younger sister. These are historical events that occurred from approximately 1966 to the present day, this is my story.
Article 1 (Circa 1966)
My earliest recollection of the gang (that is the name that I gave to the individuals in this criminal group) was when I was still a toddler in the cot.
I was in the loungeroom of my parents’ house, and I remember two men who arrived to visit my parents. They sat by the fire and talked to my parents. They were dressed in blue jeans and casual shirts. They sat in the old brown leather chairs, one of which I still have in my shed. My older sister stuck her head out of the door to her bedroom which was just off the loungeroom to see who was in the loungeroom. The younger of the two men looked at her and his eyes lit up, my mother told her to go back into her bedroom which she did. There was some talk I think but soon after my mother said, "I'll go with him", then my mother went into my sister’s bedroom and told her to go down to MacNeil’s, which was a neighbour near our farm property, her and my older brother Mark were instructed to go there, I remember going into the bedroom and hearing the conversation.
Then when I was back in the loungeroom my Mother and the younger of the two men went up the hallway to my parents’ bedroom, after a while I heard my mother call out "John you're better than Harry", after a while he (John Hankook) came back to the loungeroom and said "Your turn father", to his father, then the older of the two men went up to my parents’ bedroom and after a while I heard my mother call out "I don't want too", then she called out "Harry", but my father just sat there in the armchair, I remember him lifting up one finger as he sat in the chair but he didn't move. After a while my mother came back out to the loungeroom and sat in her chair. She looked upset and I didn't understand what was going on, I would have been about three or four years old.
My father jumped up and grabbed a box of cornflakes which were on the coffee table and threw it at my mother, then he yelled at my mother, "Go put some makeup on", she looked shocked, but did as she was told, then my father told my mother to drink her glass of water, which was on the coffee table, she then fell asleep in her chair. I fell asleep after that. The two men were my fathers' cousins, John Hankook jnr. and John Hankook senior.

Article 2 (Circa 1968)
When I was about six a couple of years later, I was in my bedroom when I heard talking from the loungeroom, I went to the kitchen and peeked through the glass panelled door that adjoined the loungeroom, I saw the two men who had visited my parents some years earlier, I recognized them as the two men whom had hurt my mother, I went back into my bedroom and went to the cupboard where the shotgun was kept, it was a Winchester double barrel, I thought to myself that I would not load the weapon as I thought the gun would scare them away, I cocked the weapon. I carried the gun back into the kitchen and opened the loungeroom door and pointed the gun at the younger of the two men known as John (Hankook), he was sitting in the armchair as I said to him, "You're gunna hurt my mother", my parents and the two men sat motionless and my mother emphatically said "Henry", no one moved for a short time and I realised that my ploy had not worked so I pulled the trigger to give him a scare, the younger of the two men (John Hankook jnr.) jumped in fright.
My father jumped up and grabbed the shotgun from me and told me to go to my room. I waited for a while then the older of the two men (John Hankook snr.) came in and sat on the bed next to me, he said to me "You've done a bad thing and you're going to have to be punished, so I can either fuck you or you can suck my dick". I didn't know what "fuck you" meant and I did not want to suck his dick, so I said that I would take the former option. He then instructed me to lie on the bed then he proceeded to rape me. When he had finished he left the room and called out to my parents, "I've had a talk to him", he came back with a glass of water and told me to drink it. I drank the water and then fell asleep.

Article 3 (Circa 1968)
There was an assortment of villains who visited the farm, there were good people as well, but the bad ones were there at the behest of my father who exposed me to their wickedness. One person who visited the farm was an older man who brought with him a young boy. My mother said the man was a judge, but I never caught his name, but I did have a chance to talk to the boy who was a little younger than me. We were talking in the hallway next to my older sisters' bedroom and he told me his name was John Dickens, I said to him "Like the writer", I don't think he knew who I meant and went to get my copy of Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens, I showed him the book and he seemed impressed with the fact that his surname was the same as a writer. I had read the book and offered to loan it to him, but he was called away by the older man.
I left to do something and returned later to find my new friend. I went into my older sister’s bedroom and found the older man in bed with the young boy, he was very angry and told me to get out. I ran from the bedroom and later saw him carrying the young boy who appeared asleep out the door and presumably out to their car. I never saw him again but did meet a bloke by the name of John Dickens when I was studying at La Trobe Uni.
Incidentally, I had to appear in the county court with regard to an intervention order in about 1997, the judge who presided over the case bore a similarity to the Judge who visited the farm with John Dickens, he had the same snarl and gave my brother a ten-year intervention order against me on behalf of my brother who never appeared, it was remarked that the length of the order was quite strange.

Article 4 (Circa 1968)
I was in the chookyard on the farm and there was a wog person in the chookyard, he was an older man, he was having sex with one of the chickens and when he finished he asked me if I wanted some, I declined and ran away to the house.

Article 5 (Circa 1968)
John Hankook jnr. was up at the farm and I remember him in the kitchen, there was a tin of biscuits in the cupboard that I couldn't reach and asked him to take them out of the cupboard for me, he did so and while I was taking a cookie I called him Han cookie monster, I didn't know why but I knew he was bad.

Article 6 (Circa 1968)
My father took me to a house in Melbourne I think, and there were three people in the kitchen, there was a ladder underneath the light globe and a coat that was covered in little bells, I was made to climb up the ladder and had to take down the coat without ringing the bells, (just like in an old film I saw, the coat was roughly made out of white material with little silver bells stitched to the outside, it didn't look as good as the one I saw in the film on t.v.) I failed in my attempt, and I think it was John Hankook jnr. that said, "He's no good, he'll never make a pickpocket", then there was some talk about how I might be useful being used to climb in to houses, as I was very small in stature, for the purpose of robbing them.
I think the house was 439a Rae St, Nth Fitzroy, where I lived many years later.
Article 7 (Circa 1968)
Another man who visited the farm was a man by the name of Kerry, he was an older man about my father’s age, he had a pot belly and was overweight, mum said he was a big newspaper man, but I never caught his surname. I don't remember much about him except that one day he was sitting in the chair by the door of my older sister’s bedroom who had left home by then I think. He wanted me to suck his dick and I said I didn't want too, he told me I had too, I don't remember my response but I do remember him taking his penis out of his pants, we were the only ones in the room, I pretended to comply with his demand but instead of sucking his dick I bit into his penis (which was circumcised) and he ran from the room screaming and in pain. I never saw him again.

Article 8 (Circa 1968)
There was a couple that visited the farm with their son, I remember talking to the man and I knew him as “Morgan the Pirate”, as there was a character in one of the books I read called Morgan the Pirate, that's how I remembered his name, I don't recall what we talked about. His wife was a plump woman who carried a hatpin in her bag and said that it was there to stab any children that got too close to her, she didn't like children and I remember her stabbing me in the leg with her hatpin because I stood next to her one day. They had a son named Reed who was older than me and one day the three of them, Morgan, Daphne and their son Reed were in the loungeroom with my father. I don't know where my mother was at this time. Morgan at one point said to Reed "Come on head job boy", and Reed replied, "Oh Dad do I have too", and Morgan said he had too. Reed then went to his father and knelt down in front of him and started to suck his father’s dick, I didn't understand what was happening but hoped that I wouldn't have to do the same to my father.

Article 9 (Circa 1968)
I was at my grandparents’ house in Ballarat for a family gathering and all the cousins from Melbourne were there. A group photo was taken of everyone standing in front of the house in the backyard, I only remember this because many years later, 1997, I was going through the old photos of the family and came across it, John Hankook was standing in the back row but didn't recognize him and left the photo on the farm. My older or younger brother may have the photo. John Hankook was a visitor to the farm and other relative’s houses, Mum said he wasn't a Hankook but was a White (Whyte?), I remember her saying "Oh, he's not a Hankook, he's a White", but he went by the name John Hankook and so did his father.
Article 9 (Circa 1968)
I don't know where my father had taken me but there was an older man who was talking to me, he asked me what would be a good name for their group of friends. He was very evasive, and I asked what did they do, he said something like they did stuff together. I said what about calling yourselves the mob, he said that's been taken, I then said what about the gang, he said that's not bad, consequently I knew them as “The Gang” after that conversation.
Article 10 (Circa 1969)
I was very sick at around this period and had a Doctor Kit Green come to see me on odd occasions, he just turned up one night in my bedroom dressed in a white lab coat with a clipboard, he even came to St. John’s hospital to visit me, I was very sick at the time and was suffering from hepatitis, it was 1969 and I remember seeing Neil Armstrong walk on the moon, there was a young boy who was a patient in the same ward, we wanted to watch the moon landing but didn't have any money for the T.V., it cost to watch the tele and we didn't have any coins so we complained to one of the sisters and she went to the other boy and told him to give up some of his coins that he had in a large biscuit tin, and he had a lot of coins, he didn't want to give them up but the nun made him give us some coins so we were able to watch the moon landing.
Dr. Green was a very nice man and I always thought he was an American, we would talk about technology, and I was fascinated by science at the time, particularly computers, I read a lot of science fiction, he left me some shares in a small box, I think the company was IBM, I don't know how many shares there were, could have been ten thousand shares, there were a lot of cards in the box. I didn't know their worth and one day Reid Clarke burst into my bedroom, it was daytime, and he said to me, "Have you got any shares", so I showed him my box of shares and he said "Do you want to sell them", I asked what they were worth and he said "Do you like lollies", I replied "Yes", he said what's your favourite lolly and I said Redskins, sometime later, days or weeks he returned and showed me a box of redskins, a sweet candy, he then said "I'll swap you for your shares", I didn't know their worth and took the lollies, some time later Mum asked me if I still had my shares and I said that I'd swapped them for a box of redskins, she wasn't happy. Years later Mum was on the phone and after she got off she said, "Reid’s parents bought him a house in Melbourne", I didn't remember him by that stage, but I have wondered if they sold my shares to buy him a house. I want my shares back; I don't like being swindled.
Incidentally Dr. Green gave me an injection which he said was a tonic that would make me better, my health did improve considerably after that, he also said not to smoke too much as he gave me a Marlboro to smoke when he visited. Dr. Green once asked me if I wanted to work for the CIA, of course I said yes being a seven year old or a bit older and he left me some manuals which I put in my cupboard, one was techniques and tactics of the CIA I think, my older brother Mark stole them one day, they were sitting on the bottom top shelf of my white dressing cupboard, he saw them and said he was taking them and I reckon I saw the same manuals in David Jantzen’s study room one day (David Jantzen was a visitor to the farm and I met him later in life).
Article 11 (Circa 1968)
I was in bed one night and my father and my older brother Mark came to the bedroom door, they stood in the doorway and I remember my father saying "You can have Henry", Mark replied "What about Luke", my father replied "He's too young", after this my older brother started coming into my room and jumping into bed with me, he would rub himself on my bum and I didn't understand why he was doing it. After some time, I tried the same thing on Luke but didn't have an erection or anything, he cried out when I jumped into bed with him as I must have startled him. I got out and went to my own bed and still couldn't understand why Mark was jumping into bed with me.
One night I noticed after Mark had jumped into bed with me that the back of my pyjamas was wet, and I thought he was pissing on me, this continued for quite some time till I complained to Mum and then he stopped molesting me and begun molesting my younger brother Luke who slept in the same room, this continued for some time, and I remember thinking that I'm glad he's not doing it to me. I eventually told Mum when one night after Luke woke up crying when Mark molested Luke, she told Mark to go back to his room and not to go in our room again. Luke still cries out at night according to his partner Janny.
Article 12 (Circa 1972)
I was in the chookyard with John Hankook one day, we were by ourselves, he reached inside of my pants and started to give me a hand job, I had an erection and was surprised because it was the first time I had had an erection, he made me cum and took the semen in his hand and went over and picked up a cat that was in the yard, it was his cat and he rubbed the semen between the cats legs, a few weeks later he came back and we were in the chookyard again and he took a young cat out of his pocket, it looked a bit strange, almost mechanical and told me it was my son, it looked like it had been covered in oil, I said "I'll call it Proto", short for prototype. He was a real weirdo.

Article 13 (Circa 1972-73)
At one time Morgan Clarke, his wife Daphne and their son Reed were staying at the farm for an overnight visit, I took Reed shooting with me and let him fire the .22 a couple of times, but he didn't seem all that interested. Later that night when everyone was asleep I woke up and heard my bedroom window opening, I saw that it was Reed climbing through my bedroom window, as I have excellent night vision and made him out by his build and appearance. I said to him "Reed, what are you doing", he didn't answer me, and I thought he had just come to play. He climbed in through the bedroom window, and I remember him climbing in leg first as he was taller than me, he proceeded to climb in through the window then came to my bed which was near the window and climbed on top of me, he then pulled down my pyjama trousers and pushed my head into the pillow and then raped me. When he was finished he said to me in a whisper "Tell anyone and I will kill your Grandmother", he then climbed back out the window and eventually, terrified and worrying about my Grandmother I fell asleep.
The next day when they were leaving my parents were standing out in the driveway and the three visitors were just about to get in their car, Mum said something to me like "Say goodbye to your guests", but I didn't want too as I had remembered last night’s event and I had not been given a glass of water, so I remembered what had happened last night. I pointed my finger at Reed and said to my Mum "He hurt me", I said it loud enough so the three visitors could hear, and Reeds' reply was "Why you little" and then stopped in mid-sentence. His father had looked at him and I think that's why he stopped mid-sentence.
I then ran away and never saw them again, but I do remember my mother saying to my father "I don't want those people visiting here again". Consequently, after that night the only time any of the criminals came to the farm was when mum was away.

Article 14 (Circa 1973)
I don't remember the circumstances but what I do remember was lying in my bed face down and John Hankook was on top of me. He was raping me and while he was raping me he was saying that it was natural, that it was normal, everyone does it, I was terrified as I didn't know what was happening and it didn't feel normal to have an adult doing something to my bum. I don't remember much of the assault, but he made me drink a glass of water before he raped me, which today I presume was laced with some sort of drug. I didn't remember till many years later when I was an adult.

Article 15 (Circa 1974)
My father took me to a neighbour’s house, and we went to one of the sheds, there was an adult there with his son, his son was a bit older than me, and he was having sex with a calf that was tied up to a post, when he was finished I was asked if I wanted to have a go but I declined.
Location Bullarook district.
Article 16 (Circa 1971)
An older man came up to the farm and set up a reel-to-reel film projector in my older sisters' bedroom, she had moved out by that stage, he made me watch a film which had images of young naked children, I wasn't interested and went outside to play, I believe it was David Jantzen whom I met later in life in Ballarat. He also came up to the farm one day and I asked him about his back, I asked him what was the matter with it and he became very upset, he had a hunchback and was very sensitive about it.

Article 17 (Circa 1972)
I was at my Uncles house in Niddrie, Melbourne, it was toward the end of the night and Uncle Jack was talking to a bloke who was sitting on a chair in the middle of the kitchen, my Aunt was doing something and Uncle Jack was telling a story to this bloke who I reckon was John Hankook, at some point Uncle Jack smashed the bottle of beer over John Hankook’s head, just like in the story Uncle Jack was telling John, Aunt Nor said that he'll sue you, John just sat in the chair with beer dripping down his head, my Aunt Norma cleaned him up with a tea towel. I don't know if it was the same night, but I think it was John Hankook and his mates tried to dack my cousin John Griffin, he hit his head on a concrete tub and they broke it up.
Article 18 (Circa 1973)
A man came up to the farm and he was very angry, he took me into my bedroom and made me sit in the cupboard, while I was in there he began yelling abuse at me, I wasn't impressed by his behaviour and got out and left and went elsewhere, I believe it was David Jantzen.

Article 19 (Circa 1968-1972)
I was lying in my bed, and I could hear my brother Mark crying out in anguish, I knew John Hankook was in there with Mark and I thought to myself that I'm glad he's not doing it to me.

Article 20 (Circa 1974)
I was sitting in the loungeroom of home at the time and I had an erection, my father saw it and said "C'mon, I'll teach you the facts of life, Mum was sitting there and didn't say anything and just kept knitting, my father took myself and my younger sister into her bedroom and he told us to jump into bed together, he then told me to rub her bum and she just giggled, my father said it was "playing", he then told me to rub her fanny and I didn't feel comfortable doing that, it was down there so I didn't touch the front of her.
After that, any time my father saw me with an erection he would tell me to go play with my sister. There was no penetration only rubbing myself on her bum the same way that Mark had done to me, I remember thinking one time that something wasn't right, that what I was doing was wrong but I didn't understand, and we were not told about sex education or that you shouldn't have relations with your family, eventually Fiona complained to Mum much the same way I complained to Mum about Mark and she put a stop to it. (I eventually came to my senses and worked out it was wrong to molest my younger sister, I told her it wasn't right, and I wouldn't do it anymore, she seemed upset by that, I suppose she felt rejected).
Article 21 (Circa 1974)
I was in the horse’s paddock with my father and John Hankook jnr. on the farm, my father said to John Hankook, "You can have Fiona, but you can't have Luke”, John Hankook replied, “what about Henry?", "He's too old" my father replied.

Article 23 (Circa 1976)
A young girl came up to the farm with her mother, maybe her father as well, her name was Naomi, she had on white hot pants and was very attractive, when they left I asked Mum when Naomi was coming up again and Mum said, "Do you like her", I never saw her again till some years later at Mr David’s (David Jantzen) house.
Article 24 1974
After Villa Maria I was enrolled at St. Pats College Ballarat, from the first day it was nothing but brutality and misery. On the first day John Willowhite was picking up his pencils that he had dropped on the floor, he was bending over picking them up when Br. Ring walked in and kicked him fair up the backside, he was in agony, he was a very violent man and would not hesitate to use the strap or his hands to physically abuse unruly students.
Br. Dowlan was our class master in form 1A, and I was totally shocked one day not long after starting school when he walked down between the desks and came up behind me and slid his hand down the back of my trousers. He stayed there for a while, and I was totally shocked, upset and bewildered, this behaviour continued throughout the year with many of the other boys receiving the same treatment. I remember Br. Dowlan walking up behind Mark Perkins who sat next to me, and he then slid his hand down the back of Marks' trousers, he jumped in shock. He had no qualms about molesting the boys in class. He didn't care that all the other boys could see him molesting our classmates. Sometimes he would make me stand at the front of the class reading aloud and as I did so he would hold his hand on my backside, if I tried to move away he would strap me, and I would have to stand next to him while he molested me in front of the other 47 odd boys in the classroom.
One day a few of the boys got into trouble (along with myself) and we were made to stand up the back of the class, he then took turns hugging the boys, trying to make us feel ashamed and would say things like, 'What would your parents think of you', then he would hug each of the truant boys in turn and press their heads into his chest trying to make them cry.
I talked to Tony Wardley about it, he was in my class, who I still see, and he remembered being at the back of the class and he said Br. Dowlan was dry humping the boys, I didn't notice it that much, but I do remember Br. Dowlan moving his waist back and forth as he would hug the boys. If he didn't get the reaction he was after he would become angry and strap the boys.
It was a daily occurrence to be molested or watch the other boys being molested, it was rumoured that one of the boarders was being raped by Dowlan and we all hoped we wouldn't be next. I told my mother about it, and she said that I was making it up. I even reported it to Father Pell, I think it was him, although I'm certain it was him because he was my School Chaplain at Villa Maria. Nothing was done about it and if you did complain, word would get around between the Brothers and they would stand there in front of you and say things like, 'Oh, he's a rotten little liar' and that sort of thing. I gave up reporting it and resigned myself to my fate.
We had a school religious retreat out at Adequate Camp, out near Creswick, I think it was, we had to stay the weekend there and receive religious instruction. There were a couple of brothers there during the day but at night-time there was only Dowlan. On the Friday night that I was there we were all in the shower block, I had just had a shower as fast as I could and a was drying myself with a towel when Dowlan came walking towards me with his hands outstretched, ready to grab me and leering from ear to ear, he walked past the other boys and moved towards me, I held the towel up to cover myself and I thought he was going to grab me and rape me then and there in the shower block. He moved closer and closer, and when he was close enough I punched him in the guts and laid him out on the floor. Marty Classen was standing there watching, as were the other boys, I picked up my clothes and made a hurried exit out of there.
Later that night we were all in our bunk rooms and four of us decided to play strip jack naked, a card game that was popular at the time. Most of us were naked or nearly naked when we heard Dowlan yell out to us from outside, he had his torch which was a big one and told us not to get dressed and to come outside, we hesitatingly went outside in the cold with nothing on, I had managed to put my pyjama pants on and lined up with the other boys who were all pretty much naked. He walked around us with his torch, I don't remember what he was saying but it wasn't pleasant, he took one of the boys away somewhere and I don't know what happened to him but the rest of us were allowed to go back to our bunks and we were told to go to sleep.
The next night Dowlan set up a hide and seek game where some of us had to hide in the bush while the rest of the boys with their torches sought us out. I was hiding in the bush and didn't want to be caught and I dodged the other boys and Dowlan, I had excellent night vision and was used to being in the bush, having been raised on a farm with a bush block and it was pretty easy to stay hidden, but then Dowlan came looking for me as I was the last to get caught. I moved further into the bush away from Dowlan’s torch, but he was hot on my trail and came after me, I started to run from him and I could hear him behind me getting closer and closer all the time, I could hear him hissing at me, "I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna get you", so I ran as fast as I could through the dark night and through the bush, I ran for my life and knew if he caught me he would rape me, a tree sprung up in front of me as I ran and I luckily dodged it and kept running, Dowlan wasn't so lucky, he hit the tree full on and I could hear him grunt as he smacked into the tree. He stopped for a little while to collect himself and I hid beneath a fallen tree and lay there motionless and quiet, I knew he was still out there and waited for what seemed like an eternity. I cautiously looked around and waited and he was waiting for me to come out as I could hear him cracking twigs with his feet. Finally, I heard him moving away and looked up and could see his Dolphin torch disappearing back towards the campfire. I lay there a while longer and when I thought it was safe to return I made my way back to the campfire, I cautiously circled the campfire to make sure Dowlan was not lurking in the bush, Dowlan could hear me moving in the dark and he yelled out, "You can come in now Henry", I made my way into the light and sat down with the other boys, I could see Dowlans nose was flattened by the impact he had with the tree and there were traces of blood around his nose from the tree he ran into and there was muted applause from the other boys as I sat back down.
After that Dowlan wouldn't molest me but he did single me out for punishment, he would strap my hands on no pre-tense on a daily basis. My hands were so swollen after about four weeks of getting the strap that one night at home, on the Thursday night into the fourth week of getting the strap, that I was sitting at the kitchen table, and I couldn't eat my tea with my knife and fork. My mother asked me what was the matter with my hands and I showed her and said Dowlan keeps giving me the strap, she said not to get into trouble, and I told her that he would strap me for no reason. Mum even came up to St. Pats on the Friday morning at five minutes past nine and walked into my classroom and said to Dowlan, "You're not to strap my son anymore, look at his hands" and I held up my hands for everyone to see, a few of the boys gasped in horror. One of the boys asked who that was, and I said, "It's me mum", after that Dowlan would strap me on the bum till I complained to my father who went up to St. Pats and had a word to Dowlan.
Then after that he would make me go outside to pick up papers and rubbish, so I began to miss classes. I remember standing up the front of the class being strapped, and Dowlan hit hard, he had a compound plastic strap that would sting and be terribly painful. I remember standing there one day thinking to myself 'I'm not gunna let him make me cry', so I withstood the pain. I would receive six of the best in the morning and six of the best on each hand in the afternoon and sometimes six on the bum. I remember looking at my hands one day and they were red and swollen and there were lines along the fingers on the inside that looked like paper cuts but were not bleeding though they looked like they were nearly bleeding. In form two I said to Dowlan "You ruined my career as a piano player, look at my hands" and I showed him and all he did was smile and looked very pleased with himself.
The abuse of the students continued through the year, and I was glad to leave Dowlans class when I moved to form two classes. From there on in I was singled out for punishment and my schooling suffered, I went from a grade A/B student to eventually being asked to leave in form six, they set me up and kicked me out. On my last day there in form six I was sitting on the seats with my mates, it was lunchtime and the first week of form six. Br. Atton came out into the courtyard and told me to come over, I went over to him a short distance from my mates, and I asked him what he wanted, he told me to pick up a piece of rubbish on the ground and it was generally understood that form six students did not pick up rubbish, that was a punishment reserved for the for the younger students in form one and two. I said "No” and realised that they were singling me out for punishment for no reason, Br. Atton then told me to report to the headmaster’s office. On the way there were stationed teachers watching me. I went into the headmasters office (Br. Nangle, who once hit me and nearly knocked me unconscious was sitting there with my mother) Br. Nangle said to me to sit down and said that he and my mother had decided that the best thing for me was to take me out of St. Pats and enroll me at SMB where I could study art, Br. Nangle then asked me if there was anything I wanted to say and I said "Yes", he asked me what I wanted to say and I said "Thankyou", he then instructed me to pick up my bag and clean out my locker. On the way back to collect my bag and books was a teacher stationed at every vantage point along the way and Jake Farley my history teacher said I wasn't to speak to anyone and I said "I'm saying goodbye to me mates", I said goodbye to my mates and told them that I had been kicked out and that I would see them on the weekend, I then collected my bag and books and left St. Pats, it had been five years of brutality and misery and I wasn't sorry to go. Edward Vernon Dowlan was not connected to the gang as far as I know.
Article 25(Circa 1976)
My father took me to a house somewhere in the country, we were in the kitchen with another man and my father said that there might be something I liked in a room that he pointed at, I went through the door and there was a very attractive blonde haired lady in a bed with the covers on her, I think she was naked, she had her eyes open and was staring wildly at the ceiling, I asked her if she was alright and she didn't respond, I asked her if she wanted an ambulance, but she didn't reply and was just staring at the ceiling, she didn't seem alright and I went back out to the kitchen and said "Does she need an ambulance", the other man went to the fridge and pulled out a can of beer and gave it to me and said "Drink this", two other men rushed into the room where she was as I was standing there ready to drink the beer, there was only a couple of mouthfuls in the can but as soon as I drank it I was affected by the drug that was in the beer, I don't remember much after that.
If I had to put a name to the faces I'd say that the man who gave me the beer was a man similar in appearance to a David Holden, (he did say once that he lived in the country in the eighties so that rules him out though, the man who gave me the beer bears a resemblance to him), I met David Holden later on in life and became friends with and the two men who rushed into the room where the woman was could have been Ronnie Brokenbrow and Bob McKinley who I shared a house with later on in life, but it was a long time ago and my memory could be playing tricks on me.
The offence took place at an unknown house in the country near Ballarat.
Article 26 (Circa 1975)
My father took me to a dam on a property somewhere, there were quite a few men standing around fishing, there must have been about forty or fifty blokes just standing around the dam on the dam bank, some were fishing but not many, there was a girl there who started yelling and one of the men grabbed her by the arm and two or three others followed the pair as the man dragged her down to the paddock below, my father said something like "Let's get out of here" and then my father took me back home.
There was a story in the news where a girl was raped at a fishing hole, I don't know if it was the same event. I was reading the article in The Courier newspaper, and I asked my mother what raped meant, she didn't tell me and told me to look it up in the dictionary and asked my father if we were at the fishing hole, he said we weren't, but we were. I think the offence took place somewhere near Creswick. In the newspaper article three men were charged with rape and sentenced to jail.
Article 27 (Circa 1976)
My father had me practicing forging signatures for about three months much the same way he had Mark practicing signatures, he had me practising forging the same signature over and over again till it looked like the original, when Dad thought I was good enough he had me sign some cheques, I didn't understand what was going on until Mum said to my father, "Have you been passing off dud cheques", my father denied it and I didn't forge any more signatures after that.
Article 28 (Circa 1976)
One night on the farm my father asked me if I could forge a photo ID, he said that I just had to swap the photo he had with the one in the ID, I had never done anything like that before, but I said I might be able to do it. The photo he gave me was of John Hankook, (passport size) my cousin whom my mother once remarked "Oh he's not a Hankook, he's a White". Most people referred to him as John Hankook. It was a pretty simple job swapping the photos and the picture on the ID my father gave me looked like John Hankook, they could have been brothers. I swapped the photo and my father gave me two cans of beer as a reward, it was a simple job, the upper right hand corner was loose and it was just a matter of sliding a razor blade between the two sheets of laminate, then I used some tweezers to extract the original photo and swap it for the photo of John Hankook my cousin, soon after I finished the job for my father I overheard him say to my mother that John Hankook had murdered a man and had stolen his identity.
I didn't recall that event till about 2018. The photo ID was very simple and wouldn't stand up to scrutiny these days, and it looked like it had been tampered with previously as one of the corners was loose, the photo came out very easily. There were some letters printed on the card, it said CIA, and to the side on the bottom of the card it said Central Intelligence Agency, the photo ID didn't look very real and could have been a fake, though it was about the right size for an I.D. card.
The offence took place at M246 Springbank Rd Bullarook.
Article 29 (Circa 1976)
My father asked me if I wanted to work for the CIA, we were standing out in the driveway at the time, I thought it would be exciting and some time later John Hankook showed me his identity card for the CIA, I had asked him "Are you really in the CIA", and he pulled out his wallet and flipped it open and showed me a card with a colourful design, like a starburst, purple coloured, it was just a small card in his wallet with a colourful design with no writing, I thought it was some sort of secret identity card, but there was no photo on it. Incidentally, it was similar to a card that Darren Peet showed me one day, he just flipped his wallet open and showed me the same sort of card and didn't say anything. John Hankook would tell people he worked for the CIA, but it was bullshit, it was something he told the dumb yokels just to impress them.
Article 30 (Circa 1977)
Two young men knocked on my bedroom window one night. I opened up the window to see who it was, they looked familiar and one of them said "Come for a drive", so I closed the window and then went out into the hallway, then out the front door and hopped in their car. They were Howard Kelly and Steven Blonde. We went to a big farmhouse, somewhere in the country not too distant from home. We were standing in the garden, and I asked them "What are we doin' here", Howard said that they wanted me to have a look inside. They then opened up the bottom sash window and hoisted me up and helped me climb in through the window. I stood in the dark room and could make out some furniture, there didn't seem to be anyone home and I didn't feel comfortable being in a strange house. I then went back to the window and said, "There's nothin' here except furniture", they then said to get out and I climbed out the window and we all got back in the car and went back to my house. Howard and Steven didn't come inside. Once I was back in my bedroom I heard another knock on the window and then one of the two gave me a can of beer. The next thing I remember is waking up in the morning with no recollection of the previous night. I didn't remember the incident till some 40 or more years later.
Article 31 (Circa 1977)
My father and I were standing out in the driveway and he said to me, "Do you want to be in the gang, cost you 50 bucks a month and you would be looked after", I didn't say anything and thought to myself, 'Where would I get 50 bucks a month from', it was a lot of money in those days, then he said "Have a think about it". I never did join the gang.
Article 32 (Circa 1978)
One day mum asked dad "Where are you taking Fiona all the time", he didn't reply. Dad was always taking Fiona somewhere with him in Dad's car and they never said where they had been.
Article 33 (Circa 1981)
I had gone home from Ballarat to the farm to build myself an art box for BCAE where I was studying art, I was in the shed and my father came up with three men, they were John Hankook, Steven Blonde and Howard Kelly. My father asked me if I wanted to work for John Hankook, John Hankook corrected him and said that it was Hankook, H A N K O O K, he spelt it out, and I said "Doin' what", and my father replied "Doin' whatever", I didn't like the sound of it and said that I was busy studying, then I got on my pushbike and rode back into Ballarat.
Article 34 (Circa 1981)
It was when I was working late on my pottery assignments at BCAE at Mount Helen, Ballarat, that Peter Wills (Peter Wills was a student in the arts or humanities department he was called "Wizza" short for the wizard as he was extremely intelligent) came up to me and asked me if I wanted a cup of coffee, it was about 8.30 at night, I said "Yes, that would be nice, thanks" and he went and made me one, I drank about half of it and the next thing I remember is waking up in a small office, I was sitting on a chair and two men sat across from me, behind an office desk, there was what looked like an early computer, P.C., on the desk on the left of the table I was facing and maybe a fax machine on the right of the desk which was a bit lower down. I asked the two men "Who are you two blokes" and the blonde haired man sitting opposite behind the desk on my right said "ASIO", I asked the blonde haired man, "Got any I.D." and they produced photo ID for each of them, I read the names and their I.D. cards looked real, each had a photo of the two men and the accompanying flashy bits printed on it. The I.D. looked like it would have been extremely difficult to forge. So I ascertained that their I.D. was real and I asked "What do you two blokes want" the blonde haired man said to me "We want you to get John Hankook", I said "I don't know anyone named John Hankook, how am I supposed to get him", then the blonde haired man said "You'll find a way", the blonde haired man then took a photo of me and asked "What's your middle name" and I said "Damian" and spelt it out, then he turned in his chair and went to the machine on his left and did something, and then the blonde haired man said "Keep your receipts", then the blonde haired man came out from behind the desk and produced a syringe and came up from behind the desk and up in front of me, I asked "What's that for" and the smaller, blonde haired man said "It's to make you forget", then the blonde haired man, smaller of the two the men, injected me with something in my left arm and I fell asleep. The next thing I know I woke up in the morning back at my pottery wheel, the clay had dried, and I thought I had just fallen asleep. The cold cup of coffee was still on the table in the morning half empty. When Peter Wills gave me the cup of coffee it was about eight or nine o'clock at night and when I woke up it was morning, about 8.30, I apparently had fallen asleep at the pottery wheel in the freezing cold and slept all night long which I found hard to believe. I went to my scheduled class for the day but found myself in the wrong class, I was totally disorientated and asked someone what day it was, they told me, and I found that I had missed a whole night. I went home and my girlfriend Tracee Cartledge asked me where I was last night, I said that I didn't remember and that caused a lot of friction, she thought that I had been with someone else for the night.
Peter Wills is a long time friend of Howard Kelly, Steven Blonde, and David Jantzen (Mr. David), (David Jantzen used to buy hashish from Peter Wills and Howard Kelly and Steven Blonde were regular visitors at Peter Wills house, that was the impression I got when I visited Peter Wills house in the ensuing years later. Interesting to note was: Peter Wills had a shop at Steven Blondes demolition business in Eureka St. Ballarat, where he sold second hand goods, it was long rumoured that Steven Blonde was dirty and was involved in the burglary trade but even after he was raided by the police (burglary squad) they failed to find any evidence of theft, that was because the stolen goods were shipped interstate and the stolen goods from interstate were shipped to Victoria), though they did fine Steven Blonde for not having the correct signage.
The offence took place at Ballarat College of Advanced Education and an unknown location.
Many years later I remembered Howard Kelly and Steven Blonde carrying me out through the sculpture room to the carpark outside, there was a white ute parked and ready for a quick getaway and they dumped me in the back of their ute, then I passed out. Steven Blonde once went to Adelaide on business according to Howard Kelly. I also read in the newspaper at around this time, that ASIO were supposedly using paedophiles to carry out some of their work for them. It is ironic that the men ASIO used (Howard Kelly, Steven Blonde) to kidnap me were the very ones that could have led them to John Hankook.
Article 35 (Circa 1982)
I went around to David Jantzen’s house, and he invited me into the loungeroom, there was a huge camera in the middle of the room, much like what you would see in a television studio, I asked what the camera was for and he said he was making a movie. He wanted me to be in it and asked me to sit on a stool and recite some lines in front of the camera. I said I didn't feel comfortable reading the script but he assured me it was just for the movie, he then started filming and asked me what should happen to someone who dobs someone into the police, it was only a short line but I replied "They should be raped", that was what the script said and I felt very uncomfortable saying it but Mr. David assured me it would be alright, I never heard anything about the film again.
The event took place at 5 Yuille St. Ballarat.
Article 36 (Circa 1982)
I was at David Jantzen and John Corby’s house in Yuille St., Mr. David as he was known, gave me a magazine to take home with me to look at. I flicked through the pages but all I saw were photos of naked children, there were phone numbers and contacts listed in the magazine. I wasn't interested in the magazine and threw it in the bin. Maxine Tuckovich, who I shared the house with asked me some time later where I got the magazine from, she must of seen it in the bin, I told her that Mr. David had given it to me, she didn't say anything else about it.
Article 37 (Circa 1982-83)
I was talking to David Jantzen at his house in 5 Yuille St. Ballarat, he told me that he had nearly gotten into trouble with a fifteen year old, he said that he had gotten her into bed, but she didn't want to do anything, he tried the same thing with me and I felt very uncomfortable and left soon afterwards. The girl that he said he had nearly gotten into trouble with was a girl that I shared a flat with when I lived above the Skin Inn, I don't remember her name.
Article 38 (Circa 1982-83)
I went around to David Jantzen’s house, 5 Yuille St. Ballarat and he had a couple of friends up from Melbourne, the male was named Reid and his friend was a young girl by the name of Naomi, I was instantly smitten with her and asked her if she would marry me, she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, she declined and said I was sweet. She was young and I didn't recognize her as the Naomi that had come up to the farm years earlier. Some days later Mr. David said to me, "It's Naomi’s first night", I didn't know what he meant at the time but I believe it was her first night of sex. Mr. David then gave me a photo of Naomi that he had taken that night she was at Mr. David’s, I kept it in my tin for years and gave it to her when I was going out with her when I met her at La Trobe Uni many years later, in the photo she looked like a Barbie doll, she asked me where I got it from but I didn't say where. I shared a house with Reid and a house with Naomi later on in life.
Article 39 (Circa 1982-1984)
I went to visit a couple of friends of mine whom I had met in Ballarat, they lived in 5 Yuille St. Ballarat, they were David Jantzen and John Corby, aka Mr. David and Mr. John, I did not remember David Jantzen from my childhood at the time. I was a regular visitor to their house and one evening, late afternoon, it was still daylight, I knocked on the front door, the front door was open, but the fly wire door was closed, and Mr. David answered it, he invited me inside and we went into the loungeroom. There were about a dozen young men in the room, and I thought they were having a party, but no one was drinking or smoking which I thought was a bit strange, I begun introducing myself and they were standing around in groups of two or three, they were all dressed in jeans and casual clothes, they didn't seem very friendly, but I went up to all of them and introduced myself. There was a group of three young males directly opposite me as I walked into the loungeroom, I went up to them and introduced myself by my first name and if I remember correctly they said their names were John, John and Darren or Daz, I said "Oh, two Johns and a Darren" then I went to meet the next small group and a young male, very young, came up to me and said his name was John, he had dark blackish hair and was wearing a waist length black leather coat, he was the only one wearing a coat as it wasn't a cold time of the year, I went to shake his hand and noticed he didn't have a right arm and I said to him, "Oh, I'm ambidextrous" and shook his left hand with my left hand. I have trouble recalling the next group of males I met but they were taller than me, there were two or three of them and I think that one-armed John was with them, I think their names were Pat and Mick but I'm not sure on that point. Then I met a tall male who introduced himself as Sol, I shook his hand and said to him "Like the sun", he smiled and I moved onto the next group that was two males, I don't remember their names, they looked like they were from the country, they wore chequered shirts and jeans, the rest looked like they were from Melbourne.
After I had gone round the room I went to talk to Mr. David, he was sitting on the floor by the door, actually he was lying on the floor with his chest propped up by the door surround, I squatted down to talk to him, then a guy appeared from the hallway in the doorway of the loungeroom and Mr. David said something like "How did you go", the guy replied "She's a bit young for me", and I said what's going on, then the guy said that he had to go and left. Mr. David then said to me "They're doin' her over", and I said what for, Mr. David replied, "She dobbed her old man into the cops for molesting her". I jumped up and went out into the hallway down to Mr. Johns bedroom, I opened the door and saw a very young girl lying on the bed naked, there was a cupboard opposite the foot of the bed that had clothes piled on top and flowing over the door which I thought was strange. I went up to the bed and looked down at her, she looked pale and her breathing was very shallow, she was very young, her pubic hair was just starting to form, she had darkish brown hair and was short in height, shorter than me, I'd say she was about 12 to 14 years old, I took her pulse which was very weak and she murmured, "Oh no, not another one", I then covered her up with a white sheet and she said "Thankyou". I immediately flew into a rage and stormed back into the loungeroom, I yelled at the offenders " You pack of fucking cunts", one of the males of the group of three that I had first met when I first entered the loungeroom was sitting cross legged on the floor, who said his name was John said "Let's get him" and jumped up to have a go at me, I punched him in the face and punched another in the stomach and punched the third of that small group, they went down and then I turned to the next group of males to have a go at them and I yelled at them "You lot fuck off" and they ran from the room. There was an older man standing by the fireplace, he was much older than the rest of the group and I said to him "You can fuck off, you're too big for me so I'll have to kill you", he took off and the others had run from the room. I said to John Corby " You, ring an ambulance and call the cops", he went out the front door and then Mr. David came back into the loungeroom with a cup of coffee for me, it was a very dark colour and I sipped it as it was hot, I then immediately had to collapse onto the bean bag, there was some sort of drug in the coffee which totally incapacitated me.
I couldn't move or talk but still had my eyes open, a while later another male came into the room and sat across from me, he said "Do we do him over as well", and David Jantzen said, "No he's mine", there was some talk between Mr. David and the new male, they then picked me up and carried me into the room where the young girl was, they pulled my trousers and jocks down and placed me on top of the girl, they fiddled around with my penis and the bloke who I hadn't met said something like "I can't get him to crack one", then they took a photo and I said to the girl "Sorry, I must be drunk", she said " That's alright, they then carried me back into the loungeroom and placed me back on the bean bag. Mr. David then sat on the beanbag and said to me "I could fuck you right now, but I won't", I was greatly relieved, I then said that I had to throw up and they went and got a bucket, and I threw up the contents of my stomach.
I woke up later and it was dark and empty in the loungeroom, I heard the sound of footsteps in the hallway and could just make out two people carrying something heavy, they looked like they were carrying a body but there was not enough light to make it out. I came too sometime in the morning and went home, I didn't remember anything from the night before when I woke up and went around to Mr. David’s house and asked him what happened last night, he said that I was pretty pissed, and I left it at that.
A couple of days later I went to visit Mr. David and in the loungeroom was a reel to reel projector and a burly thug who didn't say much and one of the offenders from the night in question, he got up as soon as I walked in and left, and Mr. David said to the heavy guy, "You can go now", and he left. I asked what was happening and Mr. David said, "He's been a naughty boy", and I left it at that. (My theory is that there was a guy in the cupboard filming the whole affair and that Mr. David was going to blackmail the offenders). The bedroom cupboard had clothes piled all over the top of it and was big enough to fit a person.
The offence took place at 5 Yuille St. Ballarat.
Looking back on this episode it feels like I met some of the offenders later on in life, I met a bloke who had one arm (Thalydomide baby) whose name was John and looks like one of the offenders, he had dark black hair, wore a black waist length coat and the age seems about right. I met him when I used to go drinking at the Empress of India in Nicholson St. Fitzroy, Carlton. I met him when I was living at 112 Blyth St. Brunswick when I was living with Michael Abbot and David Ian Hillier from the 2nd of July 2003 to 17th November 2005.
Michael Abbot could have been the person who said "She's a bit young for me" to Mr. David, he bears a physical resemblance, but I couldn't be certain, he also had an old film projector in his room similar to the one that Mr. David had, and David Ian Hillier bears a resemblance to the David I met at Mr. David and Mr. Johns house who carried a young boy out of the house unconscious one time.
I even met a bloke by the name of Sol at 7 Jackson St. a friend of Darren Peets who fits the description of the bloke I met at Mr. David’s. I was introduced to Sol and lived at his house at 7 Jackson St. Northcote from the 4th of Oct. 2001 to the 19th of Dec. 2001 and he certainly bears a resemblance to the Sol I meet up in Ballarat, same height, same hair and physical features.
I met two Johns and a Darren (Daz) when I was studying Music composition and theory at Latrobe Uni. I met John Dickens who I think was the John Dickens I met up on my parent’s farm who was being assaulted by the Judge, he also bears a resemblance to the bloke that Mr. David was showing the reel to reel film too, the one Mr. David said had been a naughty boy. It feels like I have met most of them, but I don't know for certain.
Some years later I met a girl by the name of Liz Kelly who bears a resemblance to the girl who was raped, I met her at the School of Mines and Industries in Ballarat when I was studying classical music, Monica O'Brien introduced me to her as they were friends. Liz and I became close and eventually became a couple. One night when Liz and I were talking, she asked me about my first time and I said that she was my first girlfriend that I had sex with, I asked her about her first time and she said that she was in a room and this guy came in, she then abruptly stopped and said "I don't want to talk about it", she looked visibly upset so I didn't push the conversation any further, it wasn't the answer I had expected, I thought she would have a good memory of her first time but it obviously wasn't so.
Liz and I eventually shacked up together and lived at Peel St., then Victoria avenue, then we moved into 3 Yuille St. right next door to Mr. David and Mr. John. When I had introduced her to Mr. David some months earlier he looked shocked and seemed at a loss for words which was strange as he always had a comment to make. It was after we moved into Yuille St. that Liz started spending more and more time next door with Mr. David and Mr. John, eventually our relationship began to sour and one day she told me she was going to move in next door. Eventually I found out that David and Liz had become a couple, as Mr. David said to me at one time, "Thanks for bringing her to me", I didn't say anything and was very upset, Liz was my fiancée by the time we moved into Yuille St. Mr. David came to see me one night and said that Liz didn't come home and if I knew where she was, I didn't know and he asked me if she had done the same to me, I said she hadn't.
Eventually Liz moved out and into Mr. David’s house and I got over her and some months later advertised out at BCAE for some tenants. Three people moved in, one of them was a Fiona Baker, another was Shona, and the other bloke I've forgotten. Eventually Fiona and I fell into a relationship, then John Corby from next door started coming around and pestering Fiona. Fiona said that he would just sit in her room not talking and brought her little gifts, I said he was only after one thing, and told her to give back the things he gave her and tell him that she was not interested in a relationship with him and just wanted to be friends. Fiona gave him his gifts back and told him she didn't want a relationship with him, he stopped coming around after that. John Corby thought he could steal my girlfriend off of me, just as Mr. David had lured Liz away from me, I think Liz was seduced with the aid off drugs as she liked to indulge in them and John thought he could do the same, but Fiona didn't take drugs, so that ruined his little ploy.
Personally, I think that Liz Kelly was the victim of the gang rape and Mr. David, a confirmed homosexual whose partner was Mr. John, lured her away to stop me from finding anything about her and what had happened some years earlier. The girl that I attempted to save bears a resemblance to Liz, same hair, brown, shorter than me and the age was right, when I found the victim she was about 12 to 14 years old, and the offence took place in 1982,or 1983, and when I met Liz at SMB in 1984 she was 17 going on 18.
If I had to put a name to the faces I would say that they were, John Dickens, John Wheat, Darren Peat, who were a group of friends, and hung out together. I met them at La Trobe and those three were friends for years, I shared a house with them at one time or another. The others could have been Rowan Stoope, Pat McPhee and Mick, who were a group of friends in Melbourne. Out of all the people I knew in Melbourne I believe I met the offenders and became friends with them, though they seem to appear in your life to find out if you remember them. They always congregate in groups of two or three and remain that way for years. I had known Mr. David and Mr. John well, I knew them when they had their house in Yarrowee St., and I knew them when they were part of the occult and witchcraft scene in Frank St. Ballarat, I can remember catching Mr. David in some sort of monks brown robe and he said to me, "Don't tell anyone about that", he was into that scene.
Some years later after I had been at La Trobe Uni for some time (I lived on campus) I met Di Crowther (1986) she was introduced to me by Nikki Salter who I had met on the farm in my youth and who I met at Mr. David’s some time earlier when she was with Reid Clarke. Di Crowther introduced me to John Dickens who bears a resemblance to the John Dickens I met on the farm when I was very young, he had been assaulted by the person known as “The Judge” and he bears a resemblance to one of the offenders I saw at Mr. David’s.
John Dickens was friends with John Wheat and Darren Peet and those three knew Di Crowther and Nikki Salter. I think Di Crowther was going out with John Wheat at one stage. John Dickens, John Wheat and Darren Peet could have been the two Johns and a Darren I met, they match the physical characteristics and the age is about right. There was a group of us who hung around together after uni, and in that group were John Dickens, John Wheat, Darren Peet, Nikki Salter, Di Crowther and a few others who weren't as close knit as our group. Many years later I identified a very young Di Crowther in a collection of rape porn as well as Nikki Salter. If indeed my theory is correct and John Dickens, John Wheat and Darren Peet were present at the gang rape at 5 Yuille St., and if indeed it was Di Crowther in the photo I found being assaulted (the photo was submitted to police), then I presume that the three were there to keep a watch on Di Crowther in case she started showing signs of remembering her assault, or they were there in case I remembered anything about the assault on the young girl in Mr. David’s house.
Also, Darren Peet (Daz) knew Sol very well and I think he lived with Sol at 7 Jackson St., John Dickens was friends with Sol and John Wheat knew of Sol as well. Di Crowther knew Sol as did Nikki Salter, if my memory serves me correct. So, I have three victims of The Gang, (myself included) who knew the two Johns and a Darren, and who knew Sol.
Interesting to note is that John Dickens and John Wheat were enrolled at La Trobe the same year I was due to enroll but I had to delay my enrolment for a year due to a car accident. From memory John Dickens and John Wheat were 2nd year when I got to La Trobe as was Di Crowther. Nikki Salter introduced me to Di Crowther and through those two I met John Dickens and John Wheat; John Dickens introduced me to Darren Peet who never attended La Trobe. So, I have the two Johns and a Darren who knew a Sol, those four knew Di Crowther and Nikki Salter and through my relationship with those people I met Sol later in life. If indeed I am correct in my assumptions, then I have met a few of the offenders, but it all hinges on whether I have the correct two Johns and a Darren and Sol, though there are not too many people with the name Sol who are tall and have blonde hair, and it also depends on whether my identification of the young girl being assaulted in the photos submitted to police was indeed Di Crowther. At no stage of my knowing these people did they give me any indication that they were victims or assailants.
Article 40 (Circa 1981)
I was talking to Mr. David one night and he said to me, "One day when I'm king of the world I'll be able to pick and choose who I want, I'll just line them up and take my pick", or words to that effect.
Article 41 (Circa 1981)
I was living in Errard St. Ballarat when one night a car pulled up out the front, there were three blokes in the car and one of them got out and asked me if I wanted to go for a drive, I didn't know them, but they looked familiar and I said yes and got in the car. We were driving for a while and one of them said from the front seat "Here drink this" and gave me a bottle of soft drink, I fell asleep and then when I woke up we were out the bush somewhere, may have been Daylesford, we were in a park and it was dark, there was just enough light to see. I was told to get out of the car and I felt groggy, we got out and the driver said to me "We want you to rape him and pointed at the bloke I had been sitting with in the back of the car, I said I was not going to rape him and he replied that if I didn't they were going to kill me, the driver then took something out of his pocket and held it by his side. It was either a knife or a gun, it was too dark to tell but they were deadly serious, the bloke who I was supposed to rape didn't seem concerned at all, I said I couldn't get it up and wasn't able to do it, he then said “do it or they'll kill you”, so I pulled myself for a while and the bloke who I was sitting next to in the car put his hands on the boot of the car and waited, when I pulled my penis out he looked at it and said "Oh no" and actually smiled, I said to him "I'm not going to rape you, I'll just pretend” and he said "Thanks", I then made out that I was having sex with him and I looked around to see if my ruse was working, one of the blokes watching took a photo as I saw the flash of a camera, I then pulled up my jeans and they seemed pacified with the show and happy that they had a photo. We all got back in the car and one of the blokes in the front seat gave me another drink and I fell asleep again, when I woke up we were back at my house and they turfed me out of the car, I tried to stagger inside but could hardly walk and collapsed on the front lawn and didn't wake up till morning. Maxine my housemate asked me what happened to me, and I said I didn't remember. I didn't remember till some 30 or 40 years later.
Article 42 (Circa 1982)
I went around to visit Mr David (Jantzen) at his house in 5 Yuille St, Ballarat, we were in the loungeroom and there was a fat young bloke sitting on the beanbag, he was introduced to me as Dave or David, I tried to strike up a conversation with him but he seemed distracted by something, after a while he got up and went into John Corby’s room, John Corby was Mr. David’s partner, then a little while later Mr. David said to Mr John, "Go in there and see that he's not doing any damage" I didn't know what they were talking about but John came back and said "No", then a while later the fat young guy named Dave came back in and seemed to be greatly relieved, he stayed for a while then got up and left the loungeroom, a little while later I saw him carrying a young boy out of the house in his arms, the young boy looked completely asleep. I met a David Ian Hillier when I was living in Brunswick that bore a resemblance to the Dave I met up at Ballarat, I shared a house with him, and Michael Abbot until Dave took off and left us in the lurch owing rent and bills.
Article 43 (Circa 1986)
It was while I was studying contemporary music composition at La Trobe University that I met Nikki Salter (Naomi Nicole Salter), we became friends and then became girlfriend and boyfriend. One night we took the tram to a hotel in Nth. Fitzroy and had a few drinks in the bar, she brought me over a drink and when I tasted it I was drugged. She led me to one of the hotel rooms where she undressed me, I lay on the bed in a drugged state and couldn't move, she brought in another girl from somewhere else and said something to her, then the other girl said something like "Fuck yeah" and then straddled me and raped me, she was blonde, a big framed girl, quite attractive but not my type, not overly big but large figure, she wasn't huge just big boned, it didn't take very long, she had a colourful dress on which she hitched up around her waist, then she got off me, I didn't have an orgasm, then she left the room, another girl who had brunette hair and a slim figure, extremely attractive, then came into the room, she raped me then left, she had a brown dress on which she took off I think, then Nikki brought in another girl who had blonde hair and a slim figure, she was wearing a red dress from memory, she looked at me and said "I don't want too", she seemed nervous and Nikki said to her "Oh go on", the third girl was reluctant to rape me but did any way, she straddled me and while she was on top of me I managed to change position so that I was on top, I said to her "You were going to fuck me so now I'll fuck you", she groaned in pleasure and I had an orgasm. Totally out of character for me to say and do that. Eventually the drug wore off and I got dressed and the two of us went back to the flats at La Trobe University, I woke up the next day and didn't remember a thing about the previous night. I think the location of the hotel was Pigdon St, what is known now as the Great Northern hotel, I think it was called the Normandy Arms when the offence happened. The three girls were all very attractive and I don't know why they had to rape me, they could have just asked me to have sex with them and I perhaps would have.
Article 44 (Circa 1986)
While I was at La Trobe Uni, I went up to the TV room and found Nikki Salter sitting on a seat with three males I didn't recognize, she was unresponsive when I tried to talk to her, when I asked the three males what was the matter with her one of them said, "What's it too you", I said "She's my girlfriend" and then picked her up and took her back to my room, when she woke up the next morning she asked me what happened last night, I told her and she said "Thankyou", she had been drugged and didn't remember what had happened.
Article 45 (Circa 1988)
I was talking to a mate of mine, Strop, and we were talking about Steven Blondes furniture business, and I think we were talking about how the cops raided his premises looking for stolen goods, Strop reckoned that the reason why he was never busted was because the cops never knew that the stolen goods were shipped interstate and the goods stolen in Queensland were shipped up to Victoria, though Steven did go to Adelaide on business one time.
Article 46 (Circa 1990-1992)
I was in the Bridge Mall Inn in Ballarat when I met a friend of mine named Deb Hanson, she asked me if I wanted to go to a party and I said yes, she said it was out the bush and we left and went in her car for a drive, it was a little white car, like a Morris Minor or something. It was night and I don't know where we went but we went to an old shed, a large one on a property somewhere, there were several males sitting around a barrel with a fire going inside it. She said there was something in the shed that I might like, and I should go have a look. I went over to the shed and went in through the front and saw two young girls lying on what might have been a wool classing table. One on the right had blonde hair and the one on the left had brunette hair, maybe about 15 or 16, schoolgirls. I went to have a look at them and when I got close the blonde one of them reached up and grabbed my coat, and tried to pull me on top of her like she wanted me to have sex with her, they didn't seem right, and the other one didn't move much, the one that grabbed my coat seemed like she wanted to have sex with me, and didn't matter who I was, that was the impression I got, they were both fully clothed, jeans and casual shirts. I pushed the blonde back down then stood there for a moment and then a small hatch opened up in the wall to my left, the hatch was about head height and there was a young male standing inside, he looked at me for a moment then shut the hatch. I then went outside to the fire and said, "What's going on", then a younger man, taller than me and looked like a druggo came up to me and gave me a can of beer with only a bit left in it. As soon as I drank the beer I was affected by the drug in it and went blank. Deb and the young man led me back to the car and opened the passenger door and helped me in. I remember banging my head on the roof and when I sat in the car I fell asleep. I woke up some time later and said, "Where are we", Deb said we were on our way back to Ballarat and the party had been cancelled. I didn't remember the shed or the two girls and what had happened till many years later. Two of the older men sitting around the drum fire could have been Ronnie Brokenbrow and Bob McKinley.
The offence took place in what seemed like a shearing shed at an unknown location.
Article 47 (Circa 1989)
I went to visit Kate Womble at her house near Drummond St. There was Kate, her younger sister I think, and another friend of Kates. Kate’s younger sister was brushing my hair and seemed to be quite friendly, I thought nothing of it till Kate and her friend went into one of the bedrooms and left myself and Kate’s younger sister in the kitchen, then Kate’s sister went into an adjoining room off the kitchen and left the door open, there was a mattress on the floor and the young girl, about 12 I'd say, stood in the other room and looked at me and then dropped her skirt down onto the floor, she stood there looking at me and I thought to myself that something doesn't seem right so I got up and left and yelled out “see you later” to Kate. Looking back on it I'd say it looked like a setup.
Article 48 (Circa 1991)
I went around to visit Kate Womble at her house in Humffray St. Ballarat, Max Waldron was there and we were talking for a while when Kate suddenly screamed at Max "Get out, get out", Max left and I was sitting there not knowing what to do when she went out and came back with two tall glasses of liquid, she said something like now we can have a drink, I took a sip of my drink and the next thing I know I'm lying on the floor staring at the ceiling, she then proceeded to unzip my jeans and raped me. I passed out and didn't remember what had happened, when I woke up, I got up and left, there was no one in the loungeroom when I went home. I didn't remember till years later what happened (Kate Womble is a friend of Howard Kelly by the way).
Article 49 (Circa 1993)
I was at the Bridge Mall Inn in Ballarat one night, it was fairly crowded and a girl I knew, Elise Pratt or Platt, I think, was there, she was talking to Howard Kelly and I had a chat with her, some time later Elise and Howard got up and began to leave, it seemed like Howard was taking her somewhere, I asked her where she was going and she gave me a blank stare, then Howard said something like "You're comin' with me darlin" and escorted her out of the pub. Looking back on the incident I'd say she was drugged.
Article 50 (Circa 1996)
I was on the farm and talking to my older brother Mark, we were discussing some work on the farm, and he said that he could go down to Melbourne and borrow Reid’s compressor. I wondered if it was the same Reid I knew from my time in Melbourne. When I was living with Reid some years later I noticed he had a large compressor in his shed, and I remembered the comment my brother made to me.
Article 51 (Circa 1997)
It was early in the week, a Sunday or a Monday and I had decided to go into Ballarat to have a couple of beers at the Bridge Mall Inn. It was about five or six in the evening when I got there, Andrew Flockhart the publican was serving. While I was there the bar phone rang and Andrew answered it and then shortly after he turned around to me and said, "It's for you", I asked who it was, and he said it was my brother. I said I couldn't talk to him (I had an intervention order against him), Andrew spoke into the phone then said to me "It's an emergency". I went to the phone and spoke to my brother, he said that there had been an emergency and that I had to go to the farm to look after the children, I asked what was the emergency and he said he couldn't talk about it and that I had to go and look after his children. So, I finished my beer and headed back to the farm. When I arrived Mary-Lou Cleary (my brother Marks sister-in-law) was there waiting in the kitchen and my two nephews and niece were in the loungeroom playing with their colouring books, I asked what the emergency was and she said she couldn't say and then said she had to go and then left. I went into the loungeroom and decided to find out what was going on, so I asked my niece Adele to sit at the loungeroom table, she was the oldest and I asked her what was going on, she said there had been an emergency and didn't say anymore. It seemed strange at the time as something wasn't quite right, while I was sitting there wondering what was going on, the young girl said to me, "What's the matter Uncle Henry, you look like you need a handjob", I was shocked and thought that there must be some sort of other meaning she was referring too, I asked her what she meant by a handjob and she said "Oh I do it for daddy all the time", I was horrified and very shocked and didn't know how to take that information, then she said to me, "You look like you need a drink", I said that I bloody well needed something. Then she got off her chair and went to the sideboard and opened up the right hand door and took out a whiskey glass, there was a decanter of spirits there as well which was strange because I hadn't put it there and it had not been there previously. She proceeded to pour me a glass of whiskey and then took out a large Moccona jar (no label) which she had to hold with both hands, it had a clear liquid in it and poured a generous amount into the whiskey (I presumed it was whiskey or some sort of spirits), I then asked her what was the liquid she was pouring into the whiskey glass, she said that it was the relaxing drink that Daddy gave them to make them sleep. I thought it was just some sort of sedative and that it would not have any effect on me, she then brought the glass over and gave it to me, I took a sip and it hit me like a ton of bricks, my brain went numb and I lost control over my own body, I felt powerless, then Adele said to me, "C'mon Uncle Henry I'll give you a hand job", she then took me by the hand and led me to one of the bedrooms, I kept saying no to her requests and then she went off and brought the glass of spirits back, I was sitting on the edge of the bed and I felt like I was in a coma, I couldn't move and my brain didn't work, all the while she kept pestering me to have a handjob but I managed to say no, she then lifted the glass to my lips and made me drink some more, I reckon I must've had about three or four glasses of the drugged drink but I managed to keep saying no. She then went to the clothes cupboard and opened it up, she said to me "Oh look, there's a uniform you could put on", it was a police uniform and I have no idea where it came from, she pestered me to put it on and I caved in, I had wanted to be a cop when I was younger but was too short so I told her to leave the room and I don't know how I did it but I tried on the uniform, it was a formal dress uniform, it was a good fit and I admired myself in the mirror. Then Adele came back in with more of the drugged drink and made me drink it, I was like a robot, able to do her bidding but not being in control of myself. I then sat on the edge of the bed and all the while Adele kept pestering me to have a handjob. By this stage I couldn't say no anymore, and I was having trouble focusing, so I let her pull down my fly and she started to give me a handjob, she had no qualms about it either and seemed all too eager for her task. Then the bedroom door flung open, and Mary-Lou Cleary appeared and said "Ah, got ya" and took a photo, then she and Adele went out the door. I don't know how long I sat there unable to move, unable to think properly, but eventually I came to my senses and got dressed in my own clothes and went out to the kitchen, I was very angry by this stage and when Mary-lou saw me she had a small camera in her hand that she was putting in her purse, she said "I'll just keep that", I grabbed the purse off her and took the camera out and opened the camera and took the film out, then I wrapped it up in some newspaper and burnt it in the fireplace. Then I told Mary-Lou to get out of my house and take those bloody kids with her. She left with the children, and I grappled with what had just happened, I didn't know what to do and decided to go back to the pub to collect my thoughts. I drove back into town and when I got there the downstairs bar was closed but the upstairs bar still had lights on so I went upstairs to the Murder Room. When I walked in there were two men sitting at one of the tables, I didn't recognise them then but one of them was John Hankook and a man who I presume was his accomplice. Andrew Flockhart was serving, and he poured me a beer, I sat down at a table near the bar and drank my beer wondering what to do, then Andrew received a phone call and I remember him saying "Oh did he", Andrew then came over to my table with a bottle of red and two glasses, he said to pour myself a drink and he would be back shortly. I finished my beer and poured myself and Andrew a glass of red, as soon as I took a sip of the wine I felt numb, (I had been drugged again), Andrew came over and sat down and said, "Do you want a room for the night", I managed to say yes and he took me upstairs to one of the guest rooms. I collapsed on the bed and passed out, some time later Andrew came in, walked up to the bed and slapped me on the face a few times, he then said, "You'll get yours" and left. I came too later on as I was being carried downstairs by Howard Kelly and Stephen Blonde, they carried me downstairs to the front bar and when we in the bar I said that I had to have a piss, they put me down and led me into the urinals. I stood in front of the urinal and was having trouble undoing my fly and Howard Kelly asked if I needed a hand, I refused and managed to have a piss, I then went to the sink and washed my hands then after I had dried them I asked what was going on, Howard Kelly said that they were going to set me up with my niece I tried to put up a fight but I was powerless and Howard Kelly grabbed my wrists and told me "None of that", they then led me back out into the bar and in the bar were a few people, some I recognised others I didn't, Ron McKeegan sat apart from the others drinking a beer at the bar some distance away. I yelled out "What's goin' on", and Andrew Flockhart was behind the bar at this stage and said, "You molested your niece", I yelled back, "Bullshit, she molested me", then Terry Byrne said "Oh bullshit". Then Steven Blonde fished around in my pockets and found my car keys, he then threw them at Terry Byrne and said "You, drive the car", Terry said "Me?", as Howard Kelly and Steven Blonde led me out the door I came close to a tall bloke with a cowboy hat on, I didn't recognise him and don't know him to this day but I thought I have to have something to remember this by, I thought if I get a black eye or something then that would help me to remember the nights events. So, I said to the bloke in the cowboy hat, "Are you Billy the Texan", and he said "How do you know "Billy the Texan", I didn't know Billy the Texan and tried to take a swing at him but I was too weak from the drugs they had given me through the night. The tall bloke in the cowboy hat went to hit me but Stephen Blonde stopped him and said, "The boss doesn't want him touched", they then led me outside (Howard Kelly and Stephen Blonde) and once out on the footpath they transferred me over to my older brother Mark and his Brother in law Adrian who were waiting by my brothers white van. Mark and Adrian then picked me up and put me in the back of Marks' van. Mark and Adrian were wearing slacks and neat casual shirts. When I was lying in the back of the van I thought I better get some sleep as I didn't know what was coming next. I woke up in the bedroom where I had been assaulted that evening, I was back at my farmhouse and my younger sister Fiona was waving some smelling salts under my nose, I woke up with a start and then my sister plunged a needle into my arm and once again I was in a comatose state, I couldn't move of my own volition, and I had my eyes open. My older brother Mark was there, and I think it was a bit later my cousin John Hankook (John White) appeared. I don't remember the exact sequence of events from that point on, I can remember what happened but not in the right order.(I can remember hearing Mark exclaim "Half a jar" from another room in the house, this coincides with the amount of drugs that the young girl had given me, he sounded like he was angry at the amount of his drugs that had been used on me).They had me sitting on the edge of the bed and they brought in the same girl who had drugged and assaulted me earlier that night, my sister undid my pants and took out my penis, they got the young girl to give me a handjob and my brother took a photo, John Hankook looked on and said "It's a whopper", and my sister said "We all know how big he is", they then brought in Damian my nephew and my sister said to him, “Finish him off Damian", but he screamed out "No" and ran from the room, then my sister said "I'll finish him off" and proceeded to give me a handjob till I ejaculated, she collected the sperm in a small specimen jar, it was a clear plastic container with a white lid, and said "That might come in handy". At one point my father looked in the door to see what was going on, he said, "G'day John" and John Hankook said "G'day Harry" and then my father left, he was wearing his work clothes which is what he normally wore. My sister went into what was my mother’s old room and said something like "What do we have here", she came back in the room with a dress. They then dressed me up in an old style type of long dress, I think it was a dark bluey-green knee length dress, much like what an older woman would wear and put makeup on my face, I remember the lipstick as my sister said "Pucker up Henry" then they made me spin around all the while taking a video of the events, I even kicked up my leg as my mother used to do (Mark had a portable video camera, top of the range, hand held, compact, they always have the latest technology), My sister applied the makeup to my face and my brother took the video of me spinning around dressed up in an evening dress. Then they took off the makeup and dressed me in my clothes I think, at one point they took out the police uniform and dressed me up in that,(minus the coat) they laid me down on the bed and pulled down my trousers and jocks, my sister tucked my hair up as I had long hair and did that to conceal the length of my hair, my sister had to roll up the cuffs as the trousers were too long, my sister then injected me in the arm with a needle, as I was lying on the bed dressed in the uniform with a syringe hanging out my arm, my brother left and soon returned with a baby, I don't know whose baby it was but Mark placed the baby between my legs and then one of them hung a St. Gerard medal around the baby’s neck I think (one of my names is Gerard), so they took a photo of me lying on the bed, dressed in a police uniform, needle hanging out my arm, with a baby between my legs with an erection, then John Hankook placed a revolver in my hand which I tried to pick up, I thought it might be loaded but I was too drugged and didn't have the strength to pick it up, then John said "You want the gun don't you Henry", then Mark took a photo and then Mark took the baby away to another room and they dressed me in my own clothes once again. At one point they had me sitting on the edge of the bed in front of the big double mirrored door cupboard, I was dressed in my own clothes and Mark came in to the bedroom after he went out of the room and returned with a clipboard with a sheet of A4 paper on it, I couldn't read what it was but John Hankook (White) asked what it was and Mark said it was my confession, he then added that "We're going to put him on the internet". Mark placed a pen in my hand and took a photo, I noticed that my signature was on the bottom of the document. Mark then took the clipboard out of the room, and I heard him remark to someone "It took me three months to forge his signature". I think at this point was where John Hankook went into my mother’s bedroom where the young girl was and hearing Mark say when he went to the bedroom to see what was going on "No don't" and John Hankook replied "It'll be alright" and the young girl screamed out in terror, and my sister Fiona saying "I'll just go and give her a shot", (Mark and John were in my mother’s bedroom and Fiona was in the room where I was being held, I remember her fishing around in her handbag for something, then she went out and into my mother’s bedroom then it was quiet).I remember trying to lift my hand and all I could do was lift my right index finger, this brought back memories of my father sitting in the armchair and lifting up one finger and then not moving on the night that the two Hankook’s raped Mum. At one point I was lying on the bed and my sister Fiona shouted at the two men, Mark and John, "Get out, get out, I'll never get a cock this big", the two men hurriedly rushed out of the room and then my sister proceeded to rape me, she sat on me and placed my penis into her vagina, she didn't stay very long on top of me and when she got off me she slapped my face and said "Now you can say you fucked your sister", it was repulsive. When they returned John Hankook brought in a syringe, he walked into the room with the needle in his right hand like he was ready to stab someone with it and my sister said to him "What's that", he said something which I didn't catch but my sister replied "Truth serum", I thought "Oh No", they're gunna shoot me up with truth serum, my sister injected me with the needle and then John Hankook asked me "Are you Jesus Christ", I didn't know what to say so I replied "Yes, and the twelve apostles" and laughed. John Hankook said "He's mad", I then said to him They'll get you you know", he replied "Who", I said "The two blokes who hired me", John Hankook said "What two blokes", I put my head down and didn't say any more, I at this point had remembered the two ASIO men from the night at BCAE when I was drugged and kidnapped and that's why I said to John, “They’ll get you, you know", I had to say something and I thought that would put the wind up them as I presumed they were going to kill me. I had not remembered the two ASIO men in 16 years but while under the influence of the drugs they gave me I remembered the two ASIO agents. Then John Hankook left the room and came back with another syringe, this one had a golden coloured liquid in it and I thought to myself that this is it, they were going to kill me with an overdose of heroin and handed it to my sister, she said, "I can't give him anymore or else his vein will collapse", but she injected me with it and I was hit with a blast of white light, I said "Wow, that was great", I presume it was heroin, it was a really good buzz, there was a blast of white light when my sister injected me with it and a relaxed euphoric feeling which I had heard happens after your first hit of heroin. It was just like what the junkies describe. I then was sitting on the edge of the single bed waiting for the next event. I remember saying to them "Why can't you leave me here, I just wanna go to sleep" (They carried out their tasks like they had done it a thousand times before, showing no emotion and barely saying a word to each other. It was like they were carrying out their tasks which they had rehearsed previously, there was no discussion as to what to do, or do next, they seemed to have a set list and went through the motions).Then Mark and Adrian carried me back out to Marks' van, part way there I was looking around and it was still dark and the big overhead light was on I think, I could see my ute parked by the big machinery shed and Terry Byrne was in the driver’s seat and Scotty Wileam was in the passenger seat, I struggled a bit as they were carrying me to the van and they put me down, I yelled out to Scotty, "Hey Scotty, what are you doing in my car". Terry put his head down, I yelled it out because I wanted something to remember it by, then Mark and Adrian put me in the back of the van. As I was lying there a voice came out of the darkness and said something like "You fucking little cunt", it sounded like David Jantzen, but I couldn't see in the dark. He pulled my jeans down and my brother said "No", feebly. Then he raped me and said, "I'm not even gunna' come in you", it didn't last very long and they pulled up my jeans and I passed out. I woke in the dark in the back of my brother’s van, on the way back to Ballarat, Mark looked over his shoulder and said "Adele, check to see if he's still breathing", the young girl was in the back of the van with me and she put her hand over my mouth, she said that I was still breathing then I passed out again. The next thing I remember is being carried back up the stairs of the Bridge Mall Inn by Howard Kelly and Stephen Blonde. Howard Kelly said, "Let's have a bit of fun with him", Stephen Blonde replied, "No, the boss doesn't want him touched". I was greatly relieved as I thought I was going to be raped again. They took me back to the guest room where Andrew Flockhart had left me earlier in the evening and laid me on the bed.(They laid me on the bed in the opposite direction to what I had first passed out)I passed out and remember thinking, now I can get some sleep and woke up the next morning and couldn't remember a thing about the previous night. When I went downstairs Andrew Flockhart was there, in the restaurant on the first floor, I looked at the clock and it said 9.30. I asked him what happened last night, and he replied that I was pretty pissed and had to stay the night. I went out to the carpark where I had left my car and when I got in I noticed the ashtray had been emptied, which I thought was strange as I usually didn't empty it because I would smoke butts when I ran out of tobacco. I put it down to a big night and thought the memories would come back of what happened over the next couple of days, but no matter who I asked no-one could tell me what had happened, and I asked quite a few people over the next few days. Though when I did get home that morning after the ordeal, my arm was itchy and I rolled up my sleeve and I had a big puncture wound on my arm, I just thought that I had been bitten by a wasp. My sister Fiona rang me up that morning and asked how I was, I told her I was fine but didn't remember anything about last night and that it must've been a good night. She sounded shocked when I told her I was feeling alright, but I didn't think anything of it at the time. I told Ron McKeegan when I saw him some couple of days later, that I had a dream and I was in the back of a van with a young girl, he looked at me and said, "It was just a dream", he seemed a bit angry when I told him about the dream, he had been in the bar when they carried me downstairs. Some months later when I was living at Howard Kelly’s house, Bren Luke and Ron McKeegan came to visit and Bren said he had been up to my brother Marks' restaurant and that Mark had told Bren that I had molested my niece, I said that that was bullshit and left it at that. (Looking back on it the young girl named Adele who supposedly was my niece wasn't my niece, she wasn't anyone who I had met before and when my real niece Adele visited the farm one day she was tall and much older and couldn't have been the young girl involved that night) (My sister was a nurse at the time so was very experienced in giving injections) (My older brother Mark used to be in the intelligence section of the army and I believe it was him who planned the whole operation, he had been based in Fort Hauchuca, which is a military listening post in America, Arizona) and was a graduate from Duntroon military college and according to his internet bio he was in Northern Ireland. Most of the offenders were dressed in blue jeans and casual tops, Terry Byrne had black leather coat on, and Mark and Adrian had slacks and neat casual clothes on, Fiona wore a white nurses outfit with a knitted cardigan. John Hankook had blue jeans on and a shirt. I was wearing my brown pigskin leather coat and blue jeans. I believe the attack on myself was in retaliation for taking out an intervention order against Mark and calling the cops on him. The offences took place at the Bridge Mall Inn, Peel St. Ballarat and M246 Springbank Rd. Bullarook. (On the 20th of November 2022 I was looking through my old school reports and I found an old diary from 1986, I decided to read it to see what I had written in 1986 and found some entries that were actually made in 1997. I had used an old diary to take notes and upon subsequent reading realised the entries were indeed from 1997 around the time of the offences. Though nothing was written about the missing time or going to the pub, I found the entry where Fiona my sister had rang me on the Monday June 30th, and from what I can remember was that Fiona had rang me on the morning that I arrived home after waking up in the Bridge Mall Inn. The diary entry reads 'Practice, Fed cows, work in studio, clay prep, Phone call, other party hung up ? For things I've done in the past, what bullshit, they’re the ones that are crazy, Fiona was going psycho at me again.' So, I estimate that the offences occurred Sunday night the 29th of June, which fits in with what I remember as it was a quiet night and the downstairs bar was closed when I arrived for the second time that evening.
Article 52 (Circa 1997)
My father said to me one night on the farm, "Do you want a job", I asked what the job was, and he said it was lookin' after a house in Beaufort for the night, he also said there was fifty bucks in it for me. I readily agreed as I needed the money. I went out to Beaufort and found the house where the job was to be, the bloke came out of the house, and we stood on the nature strip, and he said that he needed me to look after his baby and could I take it around the corner. I thought it was a bit odd but there was fifty bucks in it for me, his wife was standing in the doorway of the house, the man was a solid build and had dark hair and his wife was in a dressing gown. He went into the house and came back with a bassinette with a baby in it, he also said he would need my car and I could take his and drive around the corner and wait there for half an hour, I felt a bit uncomfortable but really needed the fifty bucks. I took the bassinette and put it in his car and gave him my car keys, I then drove around the corner and waited in the car. When half an hour had passed I drove back to the house and returned the baby to the bloke, he gave me my keys and fifty bucks, and I went back to the farm. When I got back home my father came up to me in the driveway and asked if I got the job done, I replied yes and there were no problems, he then handed me a can of beer that had a little bit of liquid in the bottom but I was thirsty and drank it, it had been drugged and I had to go inside and lie down, I woke up in the morning fully dressed and couldn't remember what had happened the night before, this was the second time that I couldn't remember what had happened on the previous night but I passed it off as nothing as I had woken up in my own bed, so I didn't think about it too much. The next time I drove into town I noticed the car wasn't running properly so I turned around and went home. I checked the oil, and it was a pinkish colour, I asked my father about it and he said it was a cracked head. I then had to borrow $2,000 from a friend to rebuild the motor. I believe the man out at Beaufort sabotaged my car so I couldn't take any of my possessions with me and my father drugged me so I wouldn't remember what happened. Coincidentally, I believe the house in Beaufort that I went to is the same one I'm living in now. In fact, I'm certain the house I was lured too was 6 Speke St. (In my diary entry from 1997 it says 'Mon July 7, Taxi to town'. The only reason why I would take a taxi into town would have been that my car was not driveable, so I reckon the night that I was lured out to Beaufort was the preceding Saturday or Sunday night, which would make it the 5th or 6th of July.) I have a sneaking suspicion that the man I talked to out at Beaufort was one Gary Cockburn who was my neighbour many years later and I have a vague memory of someone who looks like Gary Cockburn asking me on the farm if I pointed a gun at John to which I replied yes.
Article 53 (Circa 1998)
I took my brother Mark to court to fight an intervention order he had against me, Mark didn't even show up and the judge gave Mark a ten year intervention order against me, it was remarked by one in the legal profession that it was quite odd to be granted a ten year intervention order, the Judge was downright nasty to me, he wouldn't hear my case or anything I had to say, when he walked past me in the corridor he snarled at me and he looked like the man Mum called a judge back in the sixties, the one who brought up John Dickens to the farm and I caught the older man in my sister’s bed with John Dickens. It also said on the intervention order that I was not to molest anyone in Mark’s family, which I thought was just downright wrong. (In my diary entry from 1997, it says 'Into court' on July 15th Tuesday, so I was in court to sort out the deeds to the farm I think, from memory, and I received a notice to vacate on Thursday August 21, 1997, at 6.40 am.
Article 54 (Circa 1998)
Deb Hanson took me to a house out at Newlyn where I met Ronnie Brokenbrow and Bob McKinley, I eventually moved in and set up my pottery there, those two bore a resemblance to two of the men I had seen on the previous occasion at the rape that my father took me too in the seventies, and the one that Deb Hanson took me too at the shed out the bush where the two young girls were lying drugged on a table.
Article 55 (Circa 1998)
I was in the Bridge Mall Inn playing pool with three strangers, they were fairly young, and I hadn't seen them before, one of them said they were going up to Shepparton for a big bang, one of them said "You know what a big bang is, don't you", I said yes I did know and left it at that. A big bang is their term for a gang rape or orgy.
Article 56
I was at Howard Kelly’s pizza restaurant one night having a drink and at one point Howard said to me " Why'd ya' pour the drinks so strong, we could have had a threesome", his friend Steph was there with us, I think that was her name, Howard was into group sex, porn, and as Paddy O'Driscoll (deceased) once remarked about Howard, "Finest collection of porn in Ballarat" One of Howard Kelly's porn movies had a young girl on a sex vault, which is similar to a vaulting horse used in gymnastics, except it has a dildo in the middle of it. The young girl was having sex with the dildo while the cameraman made comments like "You like that, huh", the vault was similar to a sex vault that I saw in some photos that I found in the shed when John Willett moved out of 6 Speke St., he had left some CD's and one of them had the escapades of the gang represented by photos. One of the photos had a person similar in appearance to Ivan Milat and a couple of other males standing around in a shed while a young girl had sex with the dildo on the vault. Those photos I gave to the Police.
Article 57 (Circa 1999)
I invited Nikki Salter (Naomi) to come with me to visit Reid Clarke in Fitzroy, when we got there she looked at him and broke out in a huge smile and said "Reidy" and gave him a big hug like he was some long lost friend, he pretended not to know her but she was all smiles for the whole time we were there, later Reid said that he was surprised that she thought she knew him, and he denied knowing her, I didn't remember them being at Mr. David’s house years earlier.
Article 58 (Circa 2001)
I was living at Reid Clarkes house in Rae St. 425 Nth Fitzroy and about a week after I got there a fellow by the name of Mick turned up to stay, I was relegated to the shed and Mick moved into my room, he had NSW number plates on his van, Darren Peet said at one time that his name was Murti. When I was out in the shed one day I could hear them in the kitchen yelling out "Cop" repeatedly, I had a pretty good idea what that was related too. (Being dressed up in a Police Uniform) Mick bore a similarity to the thug at Mr David’s house where the young girl was raped, he seemed to be the standover man or the heavy who was there when things went wrong.
Article 59 (Circa 2001)
One day when there was no one home I decided to have a look around the house where I was living, this was at 425 Rae St. Nth Fitzroy, it was such a rare opportunity that I thought I might find something in one of the bedrooms. I looked in Reid's bedroom and in the top drawer of his bedside table I found a girl’s bracelet, it was heavy silver and had a section with a capital K on it in fancy writing, I wondered what Reid was doing with a girls necklace, I didn't find anything else and couldn't access the computers. I lived with Reid at his house at 425 Rae St. Nth. Fitzroy, two or three times, he was a violent drunk sometimes and one night we got into a fight, he put me in a headlock and started strangling me, he had me on the floor and I tried to fight but he was too big and strong, I could feel myself slipping into unconsciousness when he said to me "You're goin' under, you're goin' under", I relaxed my body and pretended to be unconscious then he let go, after a few moments I got up and left. He would sometimes smash his computer keyboard when he couldn't get something to work or the mouse or monitor, he had a wild temper. One time he told me that he had gone around to the bus depot just around the corner and had kicked the plate glass door in while one of the employees stood on the other side of the door and tried to stop him, he had even split his steel cap boot open and cut his foot, he showed me the injury. Sometimes he would just walk out of the house and not say where he was going and would be gone the whole weekend and when he returned he wouldn't say where he'd been. One time he asked me how to get rid of gunshot residue, this was back in 1993 when Mr. Cruel was terrorising Melbourne, pretty early on when I was living in Melbourne and when I used to go round and visit him. I reckon he's a good candidate for Mr. Cruel, he has a liking for young girls, he raped me back in the late sixties-seventies, he was with Naomi Salter back when she was a kid at Mr. David’s house, and he had a liking for strange porn, he hated Asians and referred to them as ‘slopes’, though I'm probably grasping at straws here as it doesn't fit in with the gangs operational methods, they were more discreet and find it hard to believe that Reid Clarke could be Mr. Cruel.
Article 60 (Circa 2001)
I was in the Empress of India sitting at the bar talking to the cook, after a while he randomly said, " Might be time for dress ups again".
Article 61 (Circa 2001)
I was in Reid Clarkes loungeroom, and the TV was on, there was some beauty pageant on for children and when Reid looked at the little girl, five or six years old, he remarked "She's cute", then looked at me very strangely, I didn't say anything, I didn't think she was cute but he seemed excited about her.
Article 62 (Circa 2001)
I was at Reid’s house, and he showed me some porn that he had on his computer, the one thing that stood out was there were a lot of pictures of women’s vaginas with fish in them, he seemed to like that. He also had a server that he worked on, running Linux and he was always engrossed with working on it but no one else was allowed near it.
Article 63
At one stage I was living at Will Madigan’s house in Melbourne, his girlfriend Kaz said she saw me working at a bar in Richmond, she said that she said "Hello Henry", but I ignored her, I told her it wasn't me and she said the bloke she saw was the spitting image of me, (Mum said to me once that I had a baby brother who had died at birth. so he could have been my brother who had been adopted out, Mum was going to adopt me out at one stage because money was too tight at the time)
Article 64 (Circa 2007-2010)
I was sitting on the front porch (6 Speke St. Beaufort) on my bench when the next door neighbour Gary Cockburn came up to the front fence with an aluminium can, it had no markings on it and was just a plain aluminium can, no label and no markings, he handed it to me and said here drink this, I asked what it was and he said it was something I would like, I thought it was grappa or something as there was only a little bit of liquid in the can, I stupidly drank it but didn't suspect anything, after I drank the liquid I had to sit back down on the bench as I had been drugged, I had my eyes open and Gary came in through the front gate and walked into my kitchen, I couldn't move but I could hear him in the kitchen doing something, after a short time he came back out, took the empty aluminium can and went back to his house next door. I don't know how long I sat there for but when I came too I couldn't remember what had happened and didn't remember Gary being in my house or the can. I went inside and made myself a cup of coffee, over the next few hours I began hallucinating and was totally paranoid, I was imagining all sorts of things, I don't know what Gary put in my milk but it was a very powerful hallucinogenic, I eventually made a call to the police rambling about how I thought Gary was doing something with chemicals or drugs, I don't remember exactly what I said but I was hallucinating wildly, some time later I was hospitalised, I believe the drug Gary put in my milk was something like Flaqqa, which is a bad street drug, a cross between LSD and meth-amphetamine, it took me years to recover from the effects of that drug and I'm not totally recovered to this day. Some time earlier (could have been months or years) I was reading on the internet how my older brother Mark was running as a politician, I sent him an email to the effect that I thought he was a kidnapping mongrel dog, or words to that effect, it was some time after that that Gary Cockburn drugged me. I believe it was to stop me from saying anything and being believed. Gary Cockburn who lived at 4 Speke St. Beaufort bore a resemblance to the man who asked me to mind his baby back in 1997, same build, same colour hair, and I have a vague recollection of Gary coming up to my parent’s farm and asking me "Did you point a gun at John". I also remember a car similar to my brothers car (Mark) being parked outside of Gary Cockburn’s house one night before Gary drugged me.
Article 65
I was in the Bridge Mall Inn one night and Peter Wills was at the bar drinking beer, I said G'day to him and then he said to me ASIO"s got a file on you", I didn't know what to say and didn't reply.
(Circa 2002)
I was sitting in the bar of the Empress of India, at some stage I was sitting there and didn't feel well, Des, who was a sound engineer and his mate sat there looking at me and saying things like, "Look at him" etc, I felt like I had been drugged.
(Circa 2018)
I was in a pub in Ballarat watching Pat McCabe's band and I was talking to Pat later on, I went to school with Pat at SMB in 1984, he told me that David Jantzen had molested a young boy on a school bus down the coast somewhere, I don't know if he was charged or not.
(Circa 2012)
I don't remember the year but my father came out to visit me,(6 speke st Beaufort) he was on his way to Ararat to deliver some spuds, we were talking and at one point I said to him "What about Mark and his gang drugging and kidnapping me", he replied "Just forget about it". I went to visit my father on the farm and while I was there I had a look around the house, Dad lived in a caravan at the back of the machinery shed, in the loungeroom was a bookcase and I was looking at the books to see if any of my old books were there and to have a bit of a look, on one of the shelves there were some ASIO requisition forms, most were blank but some had typewriting on them, I don't remember what was printed on them, I think there were red and yellow forms. They would have been Mark Banwell's possessions.
(Circa 2014)
I was staying overnight at David Holden’s house after a long night drinking and he suggested that I stay in the spare bed rather than drive, I went to bed and woke up some time in the early morning, it was still dark and I could just make out the interior of the room, as I was laying there I saw Dave Holden who was sleeping in the other single bed in the room get up and approach my right side of the bed, I wondered what he was up too and pretended I was still asleep, he pulled back the covers and unzipped my jeans and started stroking my penis, I didn't let it continue and pretended to wake up, he then quickly jumped back into his bed and pretended to be asleep, I thought to myself that he was another sexual deviant and I got up and left. I saw him in the street some time later and verbally abused him then didn't have anything to do with him after that. As time wore on he kept wanting to be my friend, I gradually accepted his offers to come back up to his house and kept up the impression that I hadn't seen him assault me. It was some time later that I was up at his house with another friend when at some stage we were talking about the assault on Blues son, Blues son claimed that Dave Holden had shot him up with drugs after he passed out on the couch and a couple of people went around to Dave’s house to rough him up, it was during this conversation that I said to Dave, "Well, you grabbed my dick one night when I was staying here", he vehemently denied it and told me to get out of his house, I left and went home. Even after that Dave still wanted to be my friend and eventually we became friends again. Then one night while I was in the Bar room at his house he admitted that he grabbed my dick, he said that he was lonely, I didn't say much as I had what I had been after and that was a confession, I accepted his apology and maintained the friendship until he moved out and he went around Australia, interesting to note is the fact that Fred Daniels said to me that he stayed at Dave Holdens house one night and that Dave grabbed his dick, he seemed a bit upset by that. I wouldn't have brought it up in this report except for the fact that Dave Holden reminds me of the man who gave me a can of beer with drugs in it at the undisclosed house in the bush where the pretty woman was lying in the bed where I believe she was a victim of a gang rape, he also reminds me of one of the two men claiming to be ASIO agents when I was drugged and kidnapped at BCAE in the eighties. I did ask him when he lived up the bush with his wife when he lived there and I think he said the eighties, which rules him out as being an accomplice. He bears a resemblance to two of the men mentioned in the report, but I cannot categorically confirm that it was him. Dave Holden was in one of the videos that I submitted to police, he was standing in a room masturbating while an unknown male filmed the event and another male sat in a chair, there was a woman lying on a couch who looked affected by something. Howard Kelly and Stephen Blonde are old mates, as far as I knew they have always been mates drinking together and whatever else they got up too. I don't remember where it was but Howard Kelly said one night, may have been in the pub, "We're goin' up to Tacos", that was Mark Barnwell’s nickname as he ran a Mexican restaurant in Victoria St. Ballarat. It was maybe 2013 2015 that John Willett came to live with me, he was getting kicked out of his house and I agreed to let him move in with me. He stayed for about a month and one night I was taking a piss in the bathroom, and I heard the sound of something being dribbled into a stubby. We had been drinking that night and when I came back into the kitchen I finished my beer and felt a bit strange, then John started abusing me, telling me I was worthless and had no ambition, I didn't say anything and didn't move which was strange, I believe he drugged me to stop me from saying anything about his abuse. The abuse continued for a while and then he went to bed, I sat at the kitchen table for I don't know how long then got up and went to bed. John disappeared for a month after that and then moved out, while he was moving out he had a go at me and I had to defend myself, he eventually left and left a lot of rubbish behind. In amongst the possessions, he left was a CD of rape porn, I went through the photos and identified Nikki Salter lying in a bed looking like she had been drugged, a very young Di Crowther who was naked apart from an open shirt being made to climb some stairs on all fours while a male offender urinated on her from the top of the stairs. Also, I identified David Holden, masturbating while looking at a very drugged Anne Clements lying on a couch (Clothed), while Leon Wells sat in a chair. There were many more photos and I believe it was a trophy collection of the Gangs escapades. There were also snuff porn photos of what looked like dead naked girls. They love to take photos so they can brag to their mates. I handed a copy of the CD to the police but when they came to see me I was too distraught and traumatised to talk to them. I never heard anything since. These people always hang around together in groups of two or three and remain that way for most of their lives. Also significant is that there were about 13 people involved in the gang rape at Mr. David’s house and 13 people involved in my abduction at my farmhouse. This seems to be a power number in occult circles which Mr. David was involved in. Chris Sanders who I shared a house with at one time said to me "It's Tracees first night", I didn't know what he meant but I presume it was something bad. Also, I was talking to three unknown males, all about 18 or so in Sturt St. Ballarat and they said to me, "It's Narrissa's first night, you should come along", I never went to their "party". The date rape drug they use is referred to as 'Green', slang criminal talk.
(11-10-2022)
At about 8.30 pm my younger brother Luke’s partner, Janny Steed rang me up. In the ensuing conversation she told me about a letter that Marks (my older brother) daughter had written to Janny. In it she mentions the name of the person who raped my older sister Dianne. Will endeavour to find out that name in the future. Incidentally, after the conversation there was a male screaming "Cunt, get out now, you're dead cunt" whether this was a coincidence remains to be seen. He was short, about 5.6 foot tall, had a beard, a six pack of stubbies and got into a white SUV driven by another male.
(19-01-23)
The memories of these events started to come back in about 2001, although I did remember my older brother Mark molesting me in about 1998 and made a complaint to the police but nothing was proven due to a lack of evidence. In about 2001 I was living in a squat at 439a Rae st Fitzroy, and one day I was sitting on my bed and I remember asking myself "Why am I so fucked up", I was broke and had spent my money from the sale of my portion of the family farm on a car and a holiday, I had returned to Melbourne and Reid Clarke whom I visited showed me a deserted house a few doors up from his place, 425 Rae St. Fitzroy, I thought it would do me for a while as it was better than nothing. So, after living there for a while I asked myself that question, out loud, "Why am I so fucked up". As I sat on the edge of my bed I suddenly had an image appear in my mind, it was the young girl giving me a handjob on the farm some years earlier, I freaked out, I thought to myself 'I'm not a paedophile', and I was then in a state of distress, I couldn't believe what my mind had remembered and after a while in disbelief I went round the corner to the Empress of India and sat down and had a beer. I wondered if anyone else knew and I was extremely disturbed. I couldn't enjoy myself at this point and the beer didn't go down too well either, so I went back home and thought about things for a while. Then over the following weeks and months more memories started to resurface until I had a clearer picture of what had happened to me. I added up the number of times I had been raped and lost count of the number of times I had been molested, this recollection of events sent me into a tailspin, I couldn't believe what had happened to me and tried to shut it out. I thought I was or had gone mad, why did these things happen, how had events conspired to derail me completely. I was in shock for months and still am to this day. In the midst of all these memories was Reid Clarke who had shown me the house and I was in an utter state of disbelief. Then one day there was a knock at the door, it was the Department of Infrastructure, come to inspect the property, they were a bit shocked to find someone living in their house unbeknownst to them, they said I would have to move out and I said I would, then some time later they rang me and said I had two hours to vacate the premises and I made a deal where I would move out in two days’ time. I went down and saw Reid and told him my predicament and he said he would put me up till I found somewhere to live. I didn't like the idea of moving into his house as he was one of the people who had assaulted me, but I thought I hadn't told anyone about my memories and as I had lived with him before I thought it was better than being out on the street and I thought I might be able to pick up some information, so I moved into Reid’s house and never told anyone about what had happened to me. The memories continued to resurface but they were small things and most of the major events had resurfaced over this period, I was building a clearer picture of what had happened to me but still couldn't believe it, Reid eventually asked me to move out and I wasn't sad to go, Mick had moved in about a week after I got there and I didn't like him, he looked a lot like one of the people where the young girl had been raped at Mr. David's house. It was around this time that I started using drugs more often, more to ease the pain and as a means of escape than anything else. I moved into a house in 112 Blyth St. Brunswick and thought that might help, a new start away from Reid and Mick. I had no previous problems with drugs in the early days of Ballarat and they didn't cause me any problems but with the trauma of these memories that began to resurface in 2001, and the use of bad drugs I began having mental problems. I eventually got a job at Monash Uni. as a computer technician, but the problems just got worse, John Dickens had got me the job but I didn't realise I was suffering from trauma based psychosis. Michael asked me to move out after I had a paranoid outburst and I decided to move up to the country to get away from the drugs and eventually found a house in Beaufort. After I had been in Beaufort for a while my condition worsened, then began to improve, more memories would resurface albeit smaller details but I still couldn't believe what my memories were showing me. I don't remember when it was but I saw that my older brother was running for politics and sent him an email, it was after this that Gary my next door neighbour drugged me, I willingly took the drink but if I had of known it was LSD then I wouldn't have touched it, I thought it was Grappa or something. This sent me completely insane and then was admitted to the Psych ward, they didn't know what was wrong with me and put me on medication with a conclusion of schizophrenia. The insanity I went through lasted years but I still managed to hold it together enough to pay my rent and look after the house and garden. After a while I asked for some different medication as the one I was on wasn't working, once they changed the medication I begun improving. After a short time, the voices started disappearing then they were gone, and I was glad they were gone, mostly they were the voices of my assailants taunting me, but the memories remained. I then became an alcoholic to try and drown out the memories and sometimes I would forget but they would always return, the memories always returned. I then realised some years later that I had become an overweight slob and desperate alcoholic so I started doing my Tai Chi again and in six months I lost 18 kilos, I began writing down what had happened to me but would have to stop for days, weeks, months even years at times until I could return to writing about what happened to me, I started writing down my memories in about 2002, 2003 at 112 Blyth St. Brunswick and continue writing to this day, though nothing much comes to mind apart from small details. When the memories started to resurface it was like being given a jigsaw puzzle, only one piece at a time and I had to figure out the story over the next twenty years. These days a typical day would be meditation in the morning, breakfast, reading, studying, then some tai chi then music practice. I was studying finance specialising in crypto currencies, was studying ethical hacking, studying jazz piano, approx. sixth grade and practice Zhan Zhuang, Chi Gung, six levels of Tai Chi and am sometimes creating artworks which I have for sale on Opensea, I sometimes get some work as a computer technician which brings in a little extra cash. I could write a book about the impact these events have had on me and am currently writing a book about my life, I don't know when I will be finished but hope to publish it in the future. I could write at great length as to the mental and physical turmoil I have suffered but suffice to say that my condition has improved greatly. Enough that I can now at least write about my experiences without going into physical shock. I have since been diagnosed suffering from drug induced schizophrenia and trauma based psychosis. I am very stable these days and my psychiatrist wants me to discontinue taking medication, it has taken years for the effects of the drugs to wear off and am improving every day. I have been through drug use, alcoholism and trauma, loneliness, depression and anxiety for years, these events have deeply disturbed me but I hope this information may be of some use to you. As to Mark and Fiona my siblings, they would never have ended up that way if it had not been for the influence of my father and John Hankook and the rest of their mates. Fiona once said to me that she moved up to Queensland to get away from them. She ended up becoming a solicitor and having three children which she raised by herself, she wouldn't be in this situation if it wasn't for the influence of the gang and neither would Mark, but he should have known better. Here the role of the subconscious can not be underestimated, I can say for myself that the brainwashing I received at the hands of my father and John Hankook caused multiple problems for a long period of my life. I had an adult authority figure telling me it was normal and natural to assault someone and that everyone did it. Even though the memories were buried in my subconscious they still had an influence on me and it wasn't till I saw a healer that I was cured of these conflicting ideas. And thank goodness I never ended up touching anyone after I left home as I could never live with myself. I don't know what happened to Mark and Fiona but they must have succumbed to those influences and their upbringing and were unable to break free from these people. Fiona managed to get away from them but Mark wasn't so lucky. So that brings me to the end of my story.

* **Warp Drive Capabilities:** Since it's the Enterprise, one can assume warp drive capability. The image doesn't directly give technical specs but it implies the Enterprise is operating at sub-warp speeds.
* **Light Speed Projection:** Again, the ship is capable of warp speeds, exceeding light speed.
* **Distance Travelled:** Given the Enterprise's role, potentially billions of light-years.
* **Location:** The targeting system is picking it up, likely within our solar system or near Earth.
* **Origin:** Presumably from the Federation.
**In summary:** This image playfully suggests that the USS Enterprise has been detected by a military surveillance system, blending science fiction with a real-world context.
Skull
It all begins with an idea.
Specific anatomical details bone structure density cavity sizes estimated age of deceased skeletal anatomical detailed description,
This image depicts what appears to be a gigantic human skeleton being excavated. It's important to note that the image's authenticity is highly questionable and likely digitally altered.
Here's an analysis based on what is visible:
**Anatomical Details:**
* **Bone Structure:** The bones exhibit a typical human skeletal structure, albeit on a massive scale. You can see the cranium, jaw, ribs, and limb bones.
* **Density:** Determining the density from a photo is impossible, but the bones have a weathered and aged appearance.
* **Cavity Sizes:** The skull has prominent eye sockets, and nasal and oral cavities of proportionately large sizes relative to a human skull. There's a large hole in the skull which would be atypical for a natural or typical injury.
* **Skeletal Anatomical Detailed Description:** Overall, the skeleton seems to follow human anatomy, only scaled up dramatically. It is possible to discern the typical structures of the skull (cranial vault, orbits, maxilla, mandible), ribs and limbs (humerus, radius, ulna etc.).
**Estimated Age of Deceased:**
* It's challenging to precisely estimate the deceased's age without proper forensic analysis. However, the skeleton's appearance suggests a mature individual, based on bone fusion and wear patterns. The poor shape of the jaw suggests the teeth of the deceased were poorly taken care of.
**Skeletal Analysis:**
* The detail is very limited for a good analysis on skeletal shape.
**Important Considerations:**
* **Scale Discrepancies:** The size of the skeleton relative to the excavators is wildly unrealistic for human anatomy. This alone is a strong indicator that the image has been manipulated.
* **Scientific Credibility:** Genuine archaeological finds are carefully documented and researched by experts. Images like this, lacking provenance and scientific backing, should be viewed with extreme skepticism.
In conclusion, while the image presents an apparent giant skeleton with some identifiable anatomical features, it should be regarded as a digitally manipulated fabrication for entertainment purposes.
QCDW Instructions
It all begins with an idea.
Step by step detailed instructions as to how to build and deploy a quantum cryptographic digital wallet with code examples laced out with concise precision the step by step details,
Building a fully functional and secure quantum cryptographic digital wallet, especially one that's deployable, is a massive undertaking. It requires deep expertise in quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum-resistant cryptography, blockchain technology, secure hardware enclaves, and robust software engineering practices. A complete, ready-to-deploy solution would take a large team months or years.
This response provides a **high-level conceptual outline and illustrative examples**, *not* a production-ready implementation. It highlights key components and demonstrates some of the fundamental concepts involved. **This example assumes a simplified scenario and should NOT be used for real financial applications.** Security audits by quantum cryptography experts are essential before even considering using this code.
**Caveats:**
* **Complexity:** A practical quantum wallet involves a *lot* more than what can be covered here. This is a simplified explanation.
* **Quantum Hardware:** Truly utilizing QKD for key exchange requires specialized quantum hardware, which is not accessible through standard programming interfaces. We'll simulate certain aspects.
* **Real-World QKD:** Practical QKD systems are subject to various attacks (photon number splitting, Trojan horse attacks, etc.) that require sophisticated countermeasures.
* **Blockchain Integration:** Blockchain integration for storing transaction records and wallet addresses adds another layer of complexity.
* **Deployment:** Actual deployment to a secure environment is beyond the scope of this response.
**High-Level Architecture**
1. **Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) Layer (Simulated Here):** This is the core quantum component. It establishes a shared secret key between the wallet's user and the wallet service provider.
2. **Quantum-Resistant Cryptography Layer:** Uses classical cryptographic algorithms considered resistant to attacks from quantum computers (e.g., Kyber, Dilithium). This protects data during storage and transmission, even if QKD is compromised or unavailable.
3. **Digital Wallet Logic:** Handles key management, transaction signing, and balance tracking.
4. **Secure Storage:** Stores private keys securely, ideally using hardware security modules (HSMs) or trusted execution environments (TEEs).
5. **Blockchain Integration (Optional):** Allows interaction with a blockchain to record transactions.
**Step-by-Step Outline and Code Examples (Illustrative Only!)**
**Step 1: Simulate QKD (Simplified BB84 Simulation)**
```python
import random
def bb84_alice(num_bits):
"""Simulates Alice's side of BB84."""

for i in range(num_bits):
if bases[i] == 'rectilinear':
photons.append(bits[i]) # 0 or 1
else: #diagonal
if bits[i] == 0:
photons.append('+') # +45 degree polarization
else:
photons.append('-') # -45 degree polarization
return bits, bases, photons
def bb84_bob(photons):
"""Simulates Bob's side of BB84."""
bases = [random.choice(['rectilinear', 'diagonal']) for _ in range(len(photons))]
measurements = []
for i in range(len(photons)):
if bases[i] == 'rectilinear':
if photons[i] in [0,1]:
measurements.append(photons[i])
elif photons[i] == '+':

else:
measurements.append(random.choice([0,1])) # '-'
else: #diagonal
if photons[i] == '+':
measurements.append(0)
elif photons[i] == '-':
measurements.append(1)
elif photons[i] in [0,1]:
measurements.append(random.choice([0,1])) # 50/50 chance if not polarized
else:
measurements.append(random.choice([0,1]))
return measurements, bases
def sift_keys(alice_bits, alice_bases, bob_measurements, bob_bases):
"""Sifts the keys based on matching bases."""
alice_key = []
bob_key = []
for i in range(len(alice_bits)):
if alice_bases[i] == bob_bases[i]:
alice_key.append(alice_bits[i])
bob_key.append(bob_measurements[i])
return alice_key, bob_key
def error_correction(alice_key, bob_key, error_rate=0.05):
"""Simulates error correction. A real implementation is more complex."""
corrected_alice_key = []
corrected_bob_key = []
for i in range(min(len(alice_key), len(bob_key))):
if random.random() > error_rate: # Simulate some errors
corrected_alice_key.append(alice_key[i])
corrected_bob_key.append(bob_key[i])
return corrected_alice_key, corrected_bob_key
def privacy_amplification(key, key_length):
"""Simplified privacy amplification (using a hash). Real implementations use more robust methods."""
import hashlib
key_bytes = ''.join(map(str, key)).encode('utf-8')
hash_object = hashlib.sha256(key_bytes)
hex_dig = hash_object.hexdigest()
binary_hash = ''.join(format(int(x, 16), '04b') for x in hex_dig)
return [int(x) for x in binary_hash[:key_length]]
# Example usage:
num_bits = 1000
alice_bits, alice_bases, photons = bb84_alice(num_bits)
bob_measurements, bob_bases = bb84_bob(photons)
alice_key, bob_key = sift_keys(alice_bits, alice_bases, bob_measurements, bob_bases)
alice_key, bob_key = error_correction(alice_key, bob_key)
final_key_length = 256 # Desired key length
alice_final_key = privacy_amplification(alice_key, final_key_length)
bob_final_key = privacy_amplification(bob_key, final_key_length)
print(f"Alice's Final Key (first 20 bits): {alice_final_key[:20]}")
print(f"Bob's Final Key (first 20 bits): {bob_final_key[:20]}")
assert alice_final_key == bob_final_key, "Keys do not match after error correction and privacy amplification!" #Important security check
```
**Explanation:**
* **`bb84_alice`**: Simulates Alice sending qubits with random polarization bases.
* **`bb84_bob`**: Simulates Bob measuring the qubits with random bases.
* **`sift_keys`**: Identifies the bits where Alice and Bob used the same basis.
* **`error_correction`**: Simulates a simplified error correction protocol. Real-world QKD error correction is significantly more complex.
* **`privacy_amplification`**: Reduces Eve's (the eavesdropper's) knowledge about the key by hashing the key. This increases the key’s security.
* **Important**: The `assert` statement is crucial. In a real system, if Alice and Bob's final keys do not match after error correction and privacy amplification, the key *must* be discarded, and the process repeated. This is a critical security feature.
**Important Security Considerations:**
* **Error Rate Estimation:** In a real QKD system, Alice and Bob would publicly compare a subset of their sifted keys to estimate the error rate. A high error rate indicates an eavesdropper is present, and the key must be discarded.
* **Authentication:** QKD systems require authenticated classical channels to communicate information about bases and error correction. This authentication must be quantum-resistant.
**Step 2: Quantum-Resistant Key Agreement and Encryption (Using Kyber)**
```python
#Install python-pqcrypto (requires liboqs)
#pip install python-pqcrypto
import pqcrypto.kem.kyber512 as kyber
def encapsulate(public_key):
"""Encapsulates a shared secret using Kyber KEM."""
ciphertext, shared_secret = kyber.enc(public_key)
return ciphertext, shared_secret
def decapsulate(ciphertext, private_key):
"""Decapsulates the shared secret using Kyber KEM."""
shared_secret = kyber.dec(ciphertext, private_key)
return shared_secret
def encrypt_message(message, shared_secret):
"""Encrypts a message using the shared secret (AES-256 in CTR mode example)."""
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto.Random import get_random_bytes
from Crypto.Util.Padding import pad, unpad
import hashlib
# Derive an encryption key from the shared secret
key = hashlib.sha256(shared_secret).digest()
# Generate a random initialization vector (IV)
iv = get_random_bytes(AES.block_size)
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CTR, iv=iv)
ciphertext = cipher.encrypt(pad(message.encode('utf-8'), AES.block_size))
return iv, ciphertext
def decrypt_message(iv, ciphertext, shared_secret):
"""Decrypts the message using the shared secret."""
from Crypto.Cipher import AES
from Crypto.Util.Padding import pad, unpad
import hashlib
# Derive the encryption key from the shared secret
key = hashlib.sha256(shared_secret).digest()
cipher = AES.new(key, AES.MODE_CTR, iv=iv)
plaintext = unpad(cipher.decrypt(ciphertext), AES.block_size).decode('utf-8')
return plaintext
# Example Usage
# 1. Key Generation (performed by the wallet service, e.g., once at registration)
public_key, private_key = kyber.keygen()
# 2. Alice (the user) initiates key exchange and encrypts a message
ciphertext, shared_secret_alice = encapsulate(public_key) # Alice encapsulates
message = "This is a secret message!"
iv, encrypted_message = encrypt_message(message, shared_secret_alice)
# 3. Bob (the wallet service) decapsulates and decrypts
shared_secret_bob = decapsulate(ciphertext, private_key) #Bob decapsulates
# Verify that the shared secrets are the same. CRITICAL SECURITY CHECK.
assert shared_secret_alice == shared_secret_bob, "Shared secrets do not match!"
decrypted_message = decrypt_message(iv, encrypted_message, shared_secret_bob)
print(f"Original Message: {message}")
print(f"Decrypted Message: {decrypted_message}")
```
**Explanation:**
* **`kyber.keygen()`**: Generates a Kyber key pair. The public key is shared, and the private key is kept secret.
* **`encapsulate()`**: Uses the public key to create a ciphertext and a shared secret.
* **`decapsulate()`**: Uses the ciphertext and the private key to recover the shared secret.
* **`encrypt_message` & `decrypt_message`**: Illustrates encryption and decryption using AES with the shared secret derived from the Kyber KEM. (Note that ChaCha20 is also a common choice and faster). The `Crypto` library is used for AES. Install it with `pip install pycryptodome`.
* **Critical Security Check**: The assertion `assert shared_secret_alice == shared_secret_bob` is *crucial*. If the shared secrets don't match, it indicates an attack or error, and the communication *must* be aborted.
**Important Quantum-Resistant Considerations:**
* **Algorithm Choice:** Kyber is a leading candidate for post-quantum KEM. The NIST PQC standardization process provides the most up-to-date guidance.
* **Key Sizes:** Choose key sizes based on the desired security level. Kyber512 provides a certain security level; Kyber768 or Kyber1024 offer higher security.
* **Hybrid Approach:** Combining QKD and post-quantum cryptography provides defense-in-depth. If QKD is compromised, post-quantum cryptography still protects the data. If the post-quantum algorithms are broken, the keys generated by QKD remain secure (assuming a properly implemented and secured QKD system).
**Step 3: Wallet Logic (Simplified)**
```python
import os
class QuantumWallet:
def __init__(self, user_id, key_derivation_secret):
self.user_id = user_id
self.key_derivation_secret = key_derivation_secret #From QKD or KEM
self.balance = 0
self.private_key = self._derive_private_key()
self.address = self._derive_address() #Simplified address generation
def _derive_private_key(self):
"""Derives a private key from the shared secret and user ID using a KDF."""
import hashlib
combined_data = f"{self.user_id}{self.key_derivation_secret}".encode('utf-8')
hashed_key = hashlib.sha256(combined_data).hexdigest()
return hashed_key #Simplified - use a proper HDKDF in production
def _derive_address(self):
"""Derives the wallet address from the private key (simplified)."""
import hashlib
address = hashlib.sha256(self.private_key.encode('utf-8')).hexdigest()[:20] #Truncated hash
return address
def deposit(self, amount):
self.balance += amount
print(f"Deposited {amount}. New balance: {self.balance}")
def withdraw(self, amount):
if self.balance >= amount:
self.balance -= amount
print(f"Withdrew {amount}. New balance: {self.balance}")
else:
print("Insufficient funds.")
def sign_transaction(self, transaction_data):
"""Signs the transaction using the derived private key."""
import hashlib
# In reality, use a post-quantum signature scheme (e.g., Dilithium)
data_to_sign = f"{transaction_data}{self.private_key}".encode('utf-8')
signature = hashlib.sha256(data_to_sign).hexdigest() # Simplified
return signature
# Example Usage
# Assume user_qkd_key is the key obtained from the QKD simulation (alice_final_key)
user_id = "user123"
user_qkd_key = "".join(map(str,alice_final_key)) #convert key to a string
wallet = QuantumWallet(user_id, user_qkd_key)
print(f"Wallet Address: {wallet.address}")
wallet.deposit(100)
wallet.withdraw(30)
transaction_data = "Send 10 to user456"
signature = wallet.sign_transaction(transaction_data)
print(f"Transaction Signature: {signature}")
```
**Explanation:**
* **`QuantumWallet` Class:** Represents the digital wallet.
* **`_derive_private_key`**: Derives the private key from the QKD-established shared secret and the user ID. **Important:** Use a proper Key Derivation Function (KDF) like HKDF or PBKDF2 in production. This ensures that even if the initial shared secret is compromised, the derived private key remains secure (to a point).
* **`_derive_address`**: Generates the wallet address from the private key. This is also simplified; in a real blockchain system, addresses are derived using more complex hashing and encoding schemes.
* **`sign_transaction`**: Signs transactions using the derived private key. **Critical:** This example uses a simple hash, which is *insecure*. Use a post-quantum signature scheme like Dilithium or Falcon.
* **Key Management:** Proper key management is paramount. Storing keys in plain text is *never* acceptable.
**Step 4: Secure Storage (Conceptual)**
* **Hardware Security Modules (HSMs):** Ideal for storing private keys. HSMs are tamper-resistant hardware devices designed to protect cryptographic keys.
* **Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs):** TEEs (e.g., Intel SGX, ARM TrustZone) provide isolated execution environments within a processor, offering a secure place to store and use keys.
* **Key Vault Services:** Cloud providers offer key vault services (e.g., AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, Google Cloud KMS) that provide secure key storage and management.
* **Encryption at Rest:** Even if using HSMs or TEEs, encrypting the keys at rest provides an additional layer of security.
* **Multi-Party Computation (MPC):** MPC can distribute key management across multiple parties, reducing the risk of a single point of failure.
**Step 5: Blockchain Integration (Conceptual)**
* **Smart Contracts:** Write smart contracts to manage wallet balances and transaction processing on the blockchain.
* **Transaction Broadcasting:** Broadcast signed transactions to the blockchain network.
* **Transaction Monitoring:** Monitor the blockchain for confirmations of transactions.
* **Quantum-Resistant Blockchain:** Some blockchains are actively exploring quantum-resistant hashing algorithms and signature schemes.
**Deployment Considerations:**
* **Security Audits:** Thorough security audits by quantum cryptography experts are *essential* before deploying any quantum cryptographic system.
* **Secure Hardware:** Use secure hardware (HSMs, TEEs) to protect private keys.
* **Network Security:** Secure the network connections between the wallet client, the wallet service, and the blockchain network.
* **Regular Updates:** Stay up-to-date with the latest security patches and quantum-resistant cryptographic algorithms.
* **Compliance:** Comply with relevant regulations regarding digital asset security and privacy.
**Further Considerations:**
* **User Interface (UI):** A user-friendly UI is essential for a practical wallet.
* **API:** Provide an API for developers to integrate with the wallet.
* **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):** Implement MFA to protect against unauthorized access.
* **Recovery Mechanisms:** Implement secure key recovery mechanisms in case the user loses their key.
**Summary**
Building a quantum cryptographic digital wallet is an incredibly complex and challenging undertaking. The provided examples are simplified illustrations of some of the core concepts. A real-world implementation requires significant expertise in quantum cryptography, classical cryptography, blockchain technology, and secure software engineering. Always prioritize security, and consult with experts. Remember that deploying such a system *requires* extensive auditing and review by quantum cryptography experts before any real-world application.
