The victim had felt ‘guilt, hurt and regret’ at what happened to him and he became ‘severely depressed’. The abuse ‘still haunts me’, he said, adding that Bell had taken his childhood innocence. The victim later started taking drugs but was now clean of them. ‘This whole thing has been very hard on me and I am still struggling,’ he said. ‘The road to recovery will be very long and very hard.’ Charlotte Baines, mitigating, said that Bell had no previous convictions.
