The Godson Cult. It has taken close to 20 years for me to feel strong enough to talk about what happened in Wicklow. It is now the end of the year 2016 and the pain and guilt I feel still poisons every day of my life. By chance I met Chris and Clare Godson when they were just settling into a new home in Wicklow. They spoke with fulsome pride of their time as "Christian" missionaries. The first Lie! I helped them settle in and make friends. They charmed with their tales of "good works" and kindness. I should have noticed the peculiar behaviour of Clare Godson to my two daughters at this time, but I had not heard of grooming and could not anticipate the depths the Godsons were willing to go to. My two daughters approximately 11yo and 14yo at the time were pretty innocent and trusted Clare Godson. I allowed my daughters to visit the Godsons frequently supposedly to become friends with the two Godson children. They had a rather cowed nervous little boy and a young daughter who seemed surprisingly sexually aware. I would drive my two daughters over to their house and because of this I feel I was complicit in their appalling sexual abuse by Clare Godson and her husband. At this stage we were enthralled and convinced by the Godsons, even spending one Christmas with them. My oldest daughter begged to stay on that evening with her friend. This was the first time she had stayed away from home. It was that evening she was drawn into what people now call the "Godson Cult." That evening she lost her virginity and innocence. She reproaches me now for giving my permission to letting her stay with the Godsons. While they were in Ireland the Godsons steamed ahead gathering around themselves a rather sickly group of desciples and recruits. The recruits were drawn, but we did not know it at the time, by the promise of underage sex with the Godson daughter and my children too. They held "Christian" Birthday Parties in their garden and used that as an opportunity to trap and groom other little girls in the area. Time went by and I stupidly thought the changes in my older daughter were something to do with being a teenager. The changes were due to her being involved in group sex sessions with the Godsons and their growing group of desciples. My youngest daughter was raped at one of the "Christian" Birthday Parties. I knew something terrible had happened but I thought it was to do with a row with her best school friend. I had no idea she was in physical pain. Another puzzle was how the immediate neighbours of the Godsons went from amiable smiles to glaring at visitors to the Godsons. The Godsons lied to me and said it was over a boundary dispute. It was in fact because the Godson House had become a brothel for teenage girls including my oldest daughter. My oldest daughter was being sold to local councillors, local Garda, local tradesmen in return for their silence and cooperation. My 14yo was the prime attraction together with the Godson daughter. Suddenly, the Godsons were gone. Everything packed up and transported so rapidly that no one knew what to think. I write this because Chris & Clare Godson have been in France for 11years and apparently are up to the same tricks again. Now they have websites: fossepro.com and pilgrim23.com. They have a "Christian" B&B designed to snare pilgrims. I hope this article saves a family from the pain we still feel 20 years later. Phil.

The Godson Cult.

It has taken close to 20 years for me to feel strong enough to talk about what happened in Wicklow. It is now the end of  the year 2016 and the pain and guilt I feel still poisons every day of my life.
By chance I met Chris and Clare Godson when they were just settling into a new home in Wicklow. They spoke with fulsome pride of their time as "Christian" missionaries. The first Lie!
I helped them settle in and make friends. They charmed with their tales of "good works" and kindness.

Chris and Clare Godson in Benevent l'Abbaye:

A few years ago, it would have been unimaginable to publish a serious investigative article on childhood sexual abuse by female perpetrators.
Many people still find it very distasteful to discover that a woman was, and remains,  the prime mover in the abuse of children on an almost industrial scale, and that this shameful activity took place under the umbrella of evangelical "born again" Christianity.
We at Kelleher Newsdesk much prefer to refer to this so called "prayer group" as a pseudo-Christian cult,  that just might as easily be described as a satanic based paedophile ring. That is why we continue to update this WHISTLEBLOWER Blog in order that the revenue stream of this predatory cult is limited!
 We have sifted through stomach churning sworn statements from victims of this cult which alert us to the appalling danger still posed by the leadership now comfortably settled in Central France.
Certainly we at Kelleher Newsdesk have learnt from emerging research that sexual abuse by women may well not be as infrequent as we have previously understood. We originally thought that the sordid depravity of the Godson Cult was unique!
While indeed the majority of sexual abuse is perpetrated by male offenders, our responsibility to child victims and adult survivors of female offenders means that we must continue to make the protection of the public from this cult our paramount concern.
Sadly, there are still both children and adults who are disbelieved when they first disclose sexual abuse by a woman. The cult leadership relies on this disbelief!  In fact, we received, a while ago, a sneering email from Clare Godson where she confidently stated that no one will believe our WHISTLEBLOWER Blog(s).
The Godson Cult has highlighted the suspicious blunders made by the police and LEA in previous investigations into this cult. We continue to worry that the Godsons have obtained, with funds derived from cult "activities,"  over 20+ properties in Benevent l'Abbaye. These properties have large stone, vaulted, dungeonlike cellars.
Victims in Ireland testify to the fact that they were sexually tortured in dark cellars to the mumbling of "nonsense" incantations by the leadership!
The authorities in Ireland have tried to fend off criticism that they ignored suspicious signs from the Godson house in Wicklow.
The Godson Cult, following the example of the original in the USA, discovered that a change of location and a change of cult name usually made scandal go away. A compliant police force  with previous "interest"  in the Christian "activities" of the cult (the cult meatrack of teenage girls was very persuasive) would sweep everything under the proverbial carpet..................leaving victims vulnerable to overdoses or convenient accidents.
Anyone in the Media,  or just a neighbour,  taking too much interest in investigating the leadership became the subject of absolutely vicious hate campaigns and some investigators/whistleblowers "disappeared" or died in unexplained road accidents.

At this stage in the game, an investigative journalist hot on the trail of a harmful/destructive cult gets a chance to draw in testimony/witness statements that would in normal journalism take weeks of travel and knocking on doors.
The BLOG provides us with an opportunity to let the victims find us and speak.
Some will be brave enough to give their names and share their terrible experiences in the Godson Cult. Some of our comments (received by email) are from people so shattered they fear revenge from the cult leaders.
Some of our contributors have been battered into submission by a vendetta orchestrated by the cult leaders. The cult leaders seem to be able to set up shop with impunity and advertise on reputable sites that are glad to have the revenue and nervous of asking too much about the credentials of the ******s. Chris and Clare Godson assert that no one will believe the victims or this WHISTLEBLOWER Blog.

TIME to repeat the comment Clare Godson made recently, with a degree of candour, and clearly she did not expect us to include it on this blog:
"such an interesting and uncannily accurate blog."

Our research reveals that It was a bad start in life which was bound to result in a screwed up personality, Clare Godson was cruelly treated and abused by her Father (H. Soden) who was a sociopath.
He was also by all accounts an East End racketeer with a fairly relaxed attitude to tax and the finer points of the law. He had a few interesting brushes with the Courts, and certainly a few convictions. One of our sources claims that Harry Soden had a friendly nodding contact with the Krays. He made his money and shoved Clare into an also ran boarding school in Surrey where she learnt the art of being a snobbish tyrant and bully. This is confirmed by her peers who have made contact with us. Screwed up and not surprisingly inadequate she looked for opportunities to dominate and direct the lives of others.
We hope that she will give herself a chance to express remorse and stop visiting her troubled inner self on other vulnerable people. We should feel sorrow for her state!
The Batley Cult in Kidwelly was a pretty amateurish set-up in comparison with the Godsons in Ireland and Benevent l'Abbaye:   five found guilty in sex cult trial (By Robin Turner, WalesOnline Mar 9 2011).   The jury in the trial of five people accused of using a black magic influenced cult to sexually abuse children and young adults in Carmarthenshire has found five defendents guilty of 39 serious sex offences. At Swansea Crown Court, alleged cult leader Colin Batley, 48, was found guilty of 27 offences including rape, buggery, indecency with children and causing prostitution. His wife, Elaine Batley, 47, was convicted of 5 offences, including indecency with a child and indecent assault. Shelly Millar, 35, was convicted of two counts of indecency with children. Jackie Marling, Batley's lover, was convicted of five offences including aiding and abetting rape and indecency with a child. Peter Murphy QC, prosecuting, has alleged the four established their own religion  which preached free sex and was loosely influenced by notorious English occultist Aleister Crowley.

One of the victims of the Godson Cult in Ireland has released her entire story to us. It is so graphic and heart-rending that we have failed to edit it into a form suitable for this BLOG.

Of course, the big debate remains:  which country has the jursdiction for the trial and what form of long term sentence is appropriate for Chris and Clare Godson,  and whether it is even possible to rehabilitate people of this type.
We would certainly appreciate more of your comments provided that they do not include rough justice and violent solutions for this couple! We do understand that those people harmed in Ireland,  by this couple, feel great revulsion and anger for Chris and Clare Godson. Events in Kidwelly demonstrate the evil tendencies of vicious predatory cults that cloak themselves in a pretended evangelical religiosity. We can never completely protect the vulnerable from falling into the clutches of Chris and Clare Godson but this Blog WARNS people to be on their guard and understand the hidden history of the Godsons.

News Report - Who killed Trent Keegan?   Trent Keegan was a remarkably brave jounalist who died just after probing land theft and corruption in Tanzania.  Kelleher Newsdesk is proud to acknowledge his friendship and contribution to WHISTLEBLOWER journalism. His computer records/video clips/photographs mysteriously turned up in the possession of the very people he was investigating........................

Kelleher Newsdesk is only too aware of the risks it is taking in exposing wrongdoing and depravity.
Threatening the revenue stream of a sick cult that thrives on misery has not endeared us to the cult leadership or indeed the band of degenerates that cling to it.
The cult leadership constantly demands to know the exact identities of the victims/survivors and their families in order to go to them and with a meaningful chat make the accusers fade away.
A WHISTLEBLOWER  journalist sticks with the story in hand and resists threats.  We owe this protection and confidentiality to the many victims!

A common thread running through and uniting the Yorkshire paedophile gangs, the Enfield child rapist, the Colin Batley cult and the Godson cult are their extraordinary capacity for denying wrongdoing in the face of overwhelming evidence. April 23, 2013

A common thread running through and uniting the Yorkshire paedophile gangs, the Enfield child rapist, the Colin Batley cult and the Godson cult are their extraordinary capacity for denying wrongdoing in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Another thread is their exploitative behaviour toward the vulnerable and their sheer enjoyment of extremely deviant sexual cruelty……………..

A former pupil of the Surrey boarding school records that Clare Soden beat, whipped, bit and bullied the vulnerable girls and was oblivious to the suffering she caused!
