Former Treasury worker Richard Davenport was jailed for 14
years last month after sickening sex attacks on a little girl in the
1980s. That little girl was his sister Louise, who today bravely waives
her right to anonymity to claim that she was made an outcast by her own
parents after going to the police. And she claims that she was failed by
the family’s Jehovah’s Witnesses’ community, which she says had
shockingly tried to hush up the abuse.
Sobbing heavily, Richard Davenport turned to his sister in the car and begged: “Please don’t tell the police – I’m not prison material.” Louise Palmer hesitated but then tentatively agreed, showing her elder brother what he had never shown her during her childhood: kindness, compassion and protection.
