Paul Harrison's father was a policeman. He was also a member of a sadistic pedophile ring that operated on the outskirts of Carlisle. He would keep Paul locked up and naked in a tiny cupboard under the stairs of their home before sexually abusing him. This cycle of abuse continued for several years and also affected his brother. The cupboard became a horrific prison where fear and terror filled his every moment. The Cupboard Under the Stairs is a story of abuse at the mercy of a group consisting of police officers, a primary school headmaster, and members of the Freemasons. There followed a life almost destroyed by the actions of those whom children are supposed to be able to trust. It is the harrowing story of one man's fight for justice and an end to the horrific memories that still haunt him daily.
