John Smyth's children speak out about their abuser father

The daughter of one of Britain's most barbaric and prolific child abusers has spoken about her sadistic father for the first time on camera in a new TV documentary. Fiona Rugg, the youngest daughter of John Smyth, who abused more than 100 boys and young men in the UK and Africa, said he did 'so much harm to so many people'. Smyth beat boys naked for hours in a purpose-built, soundproofed shed in his garden in Winchester, leaving them bleeding to the extent that some needed adult nappies.
