A fifth man attacked by Paisley paedophile Hugh Stevenson believes he may have been the beast’s first victim.
It has also emerged that Stevenson had links to the town’s Boys Brigade, after the man revealed his ordeal began on a BB trip.
The victim came forward to tell how he was targeted as young BB members travelled to Denmark in 1968 and thinks he may have been the beast’s first victim after falling prey to him as he served as an officer in the 2nd Paisley company.
The man, who cannot be named, says he left a police station “in tears” after reporting the serial paedophile in 1997.
He told the Express: “I’ve kept this bottled up for 54 years.”
The victim also told how Stevenson “battered” him during his reign of terror, carried out at the outfit’s former base in the town’s now demolished Thread Street church.
