EPISODE OVERVIEW:
1. Dave Sharp’s Childhood Trauma (0:57 – 5:00)
Orphaned at birth → surrendered to Catholic Church.
16 years in care: Nazareth House (ages 0–8, then 8–12) → young offenders’ institution (ages 12–16).
Trafficked across Scotland, Ireland, England.

Memory gaps: Ages 8–12 completely blank (mind control/drugging suspected).
Murder threat: Age 12, shown cellar rape; told friend Joe was murdered for talking (later learned Joe suicided after mother disbelieved him).
2. Systemic Criminalization of Survivors (6:48 – 9:26)
65–75% of Scottish prisoners = care-system sexual abuse survivors.
Post-care pipeline: abuse → medication → addiction → crime → prison → homelessness → repeat.
Goal: Strip “child sex abuse victim” label → rebrand as “career criminal.”
Childhood trauma now more profitable than drugs; human trafficking = #1 global industry.
3. False Imprisonment & Charity Betrayal (7:18 – 23:48)
2023: False allegation by Wellbeing Scotland (child abuse charity where Dave was a client).
Arrested, no police interview, no lawyer, no psych evaluation.
5 nights in suicide cell (metal suit), 30 days in prison.
Prison reality:
Told: “Don’t talk about child sex abuse—70% here are survivors.”
Heard screams identical to children’s homes.
Attempted suicide twice with face-mask noose.
Charity had dozens of staff with identical silencing experiences.
4. Street Activism & Survivor Organizing (25:42 – 2:00:04)
Campaign model:
Arrive early in town/city → set up banners.
Homeless survivors appear within hours → share stories.
Map pedophile rings by names, places, years.
Backpacker hostel strategy:
Long-stay rooms for homeless workers → £2/night.
Nightly circles: beer, stories → recruit campaigners.
Morning prayer: “Help me find someone who needs Your support.”
Results:
3–5 day campaigns → 50+ survivors rallied.
Handed out 1,000+ leaflets outside Scottish Parliament.
5. Institutional Failures & Cover-Ups (10:49 – 19:53)
Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry: Ongoing, riddled with cover-ups.
English Inquiry: £150M, zero action.
Catholic Church:
90%+ of care abuse by clergy.
Threatened families into silence.
99-year lease on grave of boy (14) buried between priests → prevents exhumation.
Charities:
High turnover, silence clients with funding threats.
Rape Crisis Glasgow defunded for supporting women’s rights.
6. Current UK Crises (13:38 – 17:30)
Grooming gangs: 250,000+ girls abused before action; survivors called “liars for years.”
Royal family: Prince Andrew stripped of titles; Mountbatten (IRA bomb) known pedophile.
Migrant crisis: “One rape a day”; women afraid to leave homes.
Whistleblower dangers: Job loss, threats, suicide after police interviews.
7. Solutions & Calls to Action (19:53 – 2:09:29)
Petition PE1979: Protect whistleblowers, give victims voice.
Community whistleblower networks: Train locals, escort to police.
National survivor summit: UK-wide Zoom/podcast with SRA survivors.

Daily ritual: 3 signs — “Help me find someone who needs Your support.”
Forgiveness: Forgave abusers; struggles to forgive recent betrayers.
Proverbs 28: The meek shall inherit the earth.
Addiction: 25 years homeless → sober 30 years via Christ.
Book in progress: Memoir + child-abuse-themed Bob Dylan/Beatles poems.
9. SRA Validation & Mind Control (57:16 – 2:17:03)
Coffin rituals: Confirmed by survivors in England, Aberdeen.
Castle abuse: Hung in woods, masturbated over, fed at grand table with lake view.
Grooming duality: Priest Ryan → cuddling → violent rape with belt.
Drugs: Unknown sedatives used; memory blanks from age 8–12.
Canadian brothers: Trafficked to SRA, exiled at 18 with death threat.
10. Final Messages (2:27:31 – end)

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
In this third appearance on The Imagination podcast, host Emma welcomes back Dave Sharp, a survivor of extreme childhood abuse within the Catholic Church care system in Scotland (birth to age 16). Orphaned at birth, Dave was trafficked, sexually abused, and subjected to satanic ritual abuse (SRA) by priests, nuns, and officials. Now a whistleblower and founder of SAFE (Seek And Find Everyone Abused in Childhood), Dave discusses:
Systemic silencing: How survivors are criminalized, gaslit, and funneled into addiction, homelessness, and prison (65–75% of Scottish inmates are care-system abuse survivors).
Institutional complicity: Catholic Church, charities, police, courts, and government profit from or enable abuse cover-ups.
Current crises: Grooming gangs, royal family scandals (Prince Andrew, Mountbatten), failed inquiries (£150M English inquiry achieved nothing), and rising migrant-related sexual violence.
Solutions: Boots-on-the-ground activism—street campaigns, survivor meetups in backpacker hostels, rallying 50+ survivors in days, and calls for national survivor summits, whistleblower protection, and trauma-informed prison reform.
Personal journey: False imprisonment, suicide attempts, faith in Jesus, and daily prayer to “find someone who needs God’s support.”
Dave issues a global call to action: survivors worldwide must connect, share testimonies, and demand systemic change to protect future generations.
GUEST INTRODUCTION:
Today I’m honored to have on the show for a third time: Child and foster care, religious abuse, child sexual abuse, trafficking, and satanic ritual abuse survivor and whistleblower, campaigner of historical child abuse, Founder of S.A.F.E. - Seek and Find Everyone abused in childhood, independent researcher and reporter, and someone I’m honored to call my friend: Dave Sharp
A little bit about Dave and what we discussed in his first 2 testimonial episodes he was on previously as a refresher or if you are new here:
Orphaned at birth, Dave was surrendered to the care of the Catholic Church - a sanctuary that promised safety but delivered a nightmare of unimaginable horror. For sixteen harrowing years, from infancy to adolescence, Dave was not raised but trafficked across Scotland, shuttled between shadowy houses in Glasgow’s underbelly, where priests - men cloaked in sanctity - presided over rituals of pure evil.
Imagine a child, no older than six, locked inside a coffin in a moonlit garden. The lid slams shut. Stones rain down, each thud a mock burial, the air thick with terror as grown men laugh. This was no isolated incident. Dave and other children were taken to satanic sex parties - drugged, and violated by multiple predators, his screams drowned in a sea of depravity. These were not random acts of cruelty but organized atrocities, embedded in a network that preyed on the most vulnerable: children like Dave, with no family, no voice, no escape.
His abusers were not strangers lurking in alleys. They were the very guardians entrusted with his care - priests, nuns, and officials hiding behind collars and titles. They targeted him because he had no one to run to. The system designed to protect him became his prison, its architects his tormentors. Dave’s story rips the veil off a chilling truth: the safest place for a pedophile is the one with unlimited access to children.
Yet from the ashes of this hell rose a warrior. At sixteen, Dave broke free, but the scars never faded. Flashbacks still seize him - vivid, violent memories of coffins, altars, and blood. Other survivors find him, drawn to his courage, whispering testimonies that mirror his own. Their stories are not coincidences. They are proof of a systemic rot festering in plain sight, shielded by respectability and titles.
Dave could have vanished into silence. Instead, he chose fire. For decades, he has stood as a beacon for the broken, risking his life to amplify the voiceless. He has faced gaslighting, threats, and the soul-crushing weight of secondary abuse that comes with exposing monsters in holy robes. His body and mind bear the cost - today, he fights on suicide watch, a man pushed to the edge by the very truth he refuses to abandon.
But Dave is no victim. He is a disciple of defiance, anchored by an unshakable faith in Jesus Christ. In his darkest hour, he declared: “I am so grateful that God has chosen me to go out and show the evil that exists in Scotland and to tell the world to put His children first.”
Dave is not just surviving. He is storming the gates of hell - and leading an army of light behind him. Every testimony he carries, every survivor he lifts, every truth he refuses to bury is a stone in the foundation of a new world - one where no child is ever again handed to wolves in shepherds’ clothing. Because of Dave, the darkness is losing its grip. Because of Dave, the voiceless are finding their roar. Because of Dave, the next generations will inherit a Scotland - and a world - where the innocent are shielded by warriors who once walked through fire and chose, against all odds, to rise. The children of tomorrow will run free, laugh loud, and sleep in peace - because one orphan refused to stay silent, and instead became an unbreakable force.
