Gang raped in the army showers: ‘I know I’ll never see justice’

It was in 1975 during basic training that Terry was gang raped in the showers.

After a “speck” was found in his barrel during an inspection on Friday, Terry says the corporal in charge of his barracks yelled ‘it’s up to you lot to sort this s*** out’.

They came for him on the following night.

Terry always showered alone. As soon as he heard the boots running and the lights flicked off, he knew he was ‘in for it’.

A man yelled at him: ‘‘We’ll bloody do ya, ya bastard, you know this is your punishment.”

Four or five men raped him. About five or six others watched. He doesn’t remember anything after the first “painful” penetration. The amount of blood flowing down his leg when he came to made him think they had also used a broomstick on him.
