Growing up in East Garston near Lambourn in Berkshire, now based in Hungerford, Earl Jesse shares the intimate story of his life in the world of drugs, violence and crime which he believes he was was led into as a teenager after a difficult childhood. Earl talks about being sexually abused by a homosexual male babysitter who employed pornography to groom him. In his late teens he was recruited into a world of drugs and crime through peer-pressure and a craving for status. The landlord of the Queens Arms in East Garston recruited Earl and his friend Tony to be bouncers at his pub and he was paid in Cocaine and Alcohol soon becoming a cocaine dealer and eventually dealing crack and heroin too. When he was finally arrested by police Earl thanked them for saving him from a drug and adrenaline fuelled lifestyle which was becoming increasingly self-destructive and from which there seemed to be no way out. Due to the length and some of the graphic detail in Earls disarmingly frank account we have presented an edited version for broadcast but the full unexpurgated interview is also here, warts and all, for mature audiences only.
