Grant Wright – Indecent Exposure

Years of sexual abuse left Grant Wright suicidal and desperate. But tracking down his abuser protected other boys from his fate.

Over his 25 year teaching career, John Creasey abused and photographed hundreds of boys. Grant Wright was one of his victims.

Decades later, Wright still struggled to come to terms with being abused. But tracking down and prosecuting Creasey finally enabled him to lay his demons to rest.

As Grant’s wife explains: “I didn’t feel he wanted revenge as much as he needed justice.”

Grant says “Male rape/abuse is never discussed nor is it taken seriously. I have helped many men to openly discuss the issues. When we leave the discussions there is no outside help for boys/men.

I want people to set the platform for men of all ages to come out and deal with this. I have some research on operational procedure of a male reports rape or abuse. The officers don’t have the experience nor do the people who deal with female rape/abuse.

The pain, emotions and embarrassment for male and female is the same, however, males don’t have the right people to share this openly and lay charges. They have trained police officers to deal with female and nobody to deal with males.

I am a recovering drug and alcohol addict and love life, I want to help males, the more we highlight this the easier it will get.

I want somebody who deals with this to use my experience, I want to create a platform for men to openly discuss this and start exposing more rape and abuse with boys. High power men and churches are involved with the actions.

Whilst this is in South Africa, the same can be said for the UK.”
