00:00Initially, in that first meeting, he didn't say it, but very soon after, he said, just
00:10call me Papa.
00:11Papa.
00:12He said, come to Papa.
00:13You only trust me.
00:14I'll look after you.
00:15I thought it was odd that he said Papa, because that was weird, but then I thought maybe he
00:18did mean it in a sort of fatherly way initially.
00:20Only a few days after I'd been working there, he would sort of bear hug me to start with
00:27and greet me with a hug.
00:31That was very early on, and that made me feel a bit weird, but then I thought, oh, he's
00:35being nice and protective, like a sort of fatherly figure.
00:39But then it just, oh, the hugs became more uncomfortable, and yeah, I didn't feel right.
00:54And then, I mean, the hugs, he'd just try and kiss me, and I didn't want to be kissed.
01:00It's like one minute, you know, he's saying he's going to protect me and look after me,
01:03and he's like a dad or a father, and then next minute, he's trying to kiss me, and I
01:10don't know what to think.
