Haigha Haigha, why would a police officer speak to you at length about ch? Why would they risk their job over confidentiality rules? How could they be aware of him if no victim has made a complaint? No complaint = nothing on their system. With a he said she said scenario like this, much better for me to wait for a second victim of abuse to also come forward. My complaint is on record with witn

They included whether offences had been reported straight away, he said.

Why do people feel threatened by this unpleasant little man? His only gift is madness. Once you understand and accept he is a psychopath, a bully and a coward, everything falls into place. There is no spiritual power, and any experience you had in a healing session came from within yourself. There is nothing to fear. Report him and put a stop to the abuse, which will be ongoing.

Psychopaths The key traits defining the psychopathic personality syndrome are: a smooth, glib capability to lie, manipulate and dissemble; a completely callous lack of empathy or concern for others; shallow emotional affect and lack of remorse; and egocentric grandiosity.

To report Christopher Hansard to therapy regulating bodies is another option. However, I personally would rather see him facing more serious consequences.
