Earl Spencer says the abuse has left him with 'lifelong demons'.
Earl Spencer, the younger brother of Princess Diana, has said he was sexually abused as a child. The 59-year-old has detailed the sexual assaults and beatings he suffered by a female staff member when he was at Maidwell Hall boarding school. He says in his memoir he was abused by an assistant matron when he was 11, leaving him with such trauma that he self-harmed over the notion she may leave the school.
He wrote: 'There was no joy in the act, no sense of arrival, no coming of age. 'I believe now that I was simply completing the process set in motion by the assistant matron's perverted attention.' He described reliving his experiences at the school as 'an absolutely hellish experience', writing: 'I've frequently witnessed deep pain, still flickering in the eyes of my Maidwell contemporaries.
