Paedophile claimed God had forgiven him and wiped his memory of sex attack on 10-year-old

A sex attacker caught decades after he traumatised a child claimed he had forgotten the abuse because God had forgiven him and “wiped his memory”.
But in court, churchgoer John Whittle, 74 pleaded guilty to indecent assault, indecency with a child and having unlawful sexual intercourse with a 10-year-old and was jailed for nine years. When crown solicitor John Probert outlined details of the offences and the lifelong effect on the victim, Whittle began crying loudly in the glass-covered dock at Cardiff Crown Court.
