542 Words3 Pages
“Do what you want, just don’t get caught doing it.” This is the advice given to Frederick West by his father. (Boduszek, 2012) Growing up in a poor household, second of eight children, Fred was sexually abused by his mother while his father had relationships with his sisters. He had been taught that incest and bestiality were normal. As a teen, Fred had gotten into a motorcycle accident, causing him to go into fits of rage. This accident is believed to have changed his behavior and to start committing petty crimes, to eventually molesting a 13 year old girl. He was convicted, but did not get put into prison, resulting in being disowned by his family. As we dive into Fred’s life we will soon learn that he has not acted alone.
