Face-paint fiend used me for evil
By Matthew Acton
A DISTRAUGHT teenager last night relived the horrifying moment she discovered she was a victim of paedophile face painter Glyn Martin—10 years AFTER the sickening crime.
For vile Martin, left, had drugged her into a deep sleep before stripping her naked, indecently assaulting her and daubing her face crimson to simulate blood as he acted out a sordid murder scene for the camera.
But when his stash of sick photos was finally uncovered cops traced the girl—one of over 2,000 victims lured from family friends and the seaside booths he used as a kids' entertainer.
And yesterday as ex-school governor Martin began an 18-year jail sentence the girl, now 18, told us: "When I saw those pictures I was so shocked. I felt dirty and violated.
"I'm naked in most of them. So is Martin and he'd covered my face in red paint, streaked down my neck like blood. With my head tilted back and my eyes rolled back I actually looked dead. That's when I realised—he was fantasising about killing me.
"There were about 200 photos of me but I only saw six. I felt so ill I couldn't look at any more and had to walk out.
"The police told me the images got worse—I dread to think what they were like. I was so upset I couldn't sleep or eat."
Hull Crown Court this week heard how evil Martin, 53, preyed on innocent children from 1988 to 2003—despite TWO earlier police investigations that produced damning evidence but no prosecution.
As a face painter on the Yorkshire seafronts of Bridlington and Scarborough he found a ready supply of victims.
Daggers
And using two unsuspecting foster daughters as cover, he enticed their friends into sleepovers at his home. The young guests would be KNOCKED out with a powerful sedative and ASSAULTED as they slept.
Martin PAINTED them up, ADORNED them with obscene placards describing how he wanted to kill them, HELD daggers to their throats and PHOTOGRAPHED them.
The fiend admitted 57 charges of indecent assault, taking indecent photos, drugging and abduction.
Judge Michael Mettyear told him: "You sought to commit unspeakable crimes against young children including abduction, rape, torture and murder."
Our 18-year-old recalled how she first fell into his clutches.
At her Bridlington home she told us: "We always thought the daughters were his own and their mum had died, but that was a lie. I started sleeping over in early 1995 and Martin gave us what he said were ‘vitamins'. If you didn't take them he'd get really mad.
"Then he'd sit us in front of the TV with a hot drink and we'd just go to sleep on the settee. Now I know that's when he abused me—but at the time I'd no idea.
Videos
"I practically lived at his house for three or four months. If my mum ever tried to stop me staying over he'd say things to make her feel guilty—like he'd bought some videos or cooked something special, so it looked as if she was being mean. And every time I stayed he'd give us the ‘vitamins'. I can't remember anything that happened after taking them. They must have been really powerful drugs.
"When my mum found out he'd made me take tablets she went really mad. And eventually I stopped going."
Today the teenager and her family are relieved Martin is finally caged but furious he was not halted earlier.
Now police are trawling files of unsolved murders and abductions—fearful that the beast may have secretly fulfilled his ultimate vile fantasy.
