ONE of pervert Will Clark’s young victims has spoken exclusively to the Journal about how the ordeal still haunts him.

Troy Vernon-Green, 20, said being secretly filmed undressing and bathing while a lodger in Clark’s home had left him unable to sleep, frightened to go into the bathroom and paranoid about more hidden cameras.

“Even looking at the bathroom upstairs makes me feel sick,” he said.

“He’s a dirty, twisted old man.”

And he said the sentence handed down to Clark – who will serve only 14 months – was too soft: he knew a petty shoplifter who was jailed for longer.

He fears the founder of Rainbow Rooms will soon be free and taking more indecent pictures.

“It was complete and utter bull***t,” Troy said.

“Where’s the justice in that?”

As the Journal previously reported, Clark, 45, was jailed on Thursday for a string of sex offences including filming men and boys in Salisbury public toilets, downloading child abuse images, secretly filming men in his bathroom, abusing boys as a teenager and lying to the Charity Commission about his record of sex offences against children.

Clark took Troy in when he was 17 and had nowhere else to go. He offered the young man a roof over his head for £250 a month when the alternative was a hostel.

But he betrayed Troy’s trust and abused his privacy by secretly filming him and other young men, who cannot be named for legal reasons.

He told the court he set up the camera because he was paranoid his victims were secretly meeting to talk about him.

But Judge Alan Large rejected this, saying Clark’s only motive was sexual gratification.

Troy eventually moved out of Clark’s home with a partner. They lived in Greencroft Street, where Clark would often visit them.

But after Clark’s arrest Troy felt unable to stay there.

“I didn’t feel safe in that house any more,” he explained.

“What if he had put a camera in there?”

Now he works nights because he can’t sleep properly, can’t take a bath unless someone else is upstairs, and showers wearing shorts, afraid someone is watching him.

Troy said he had always thought Clark was “creepy” and a “weirdo”, but had not imagined what he was doing until the police told him he had been identified in some photographs.

When he found out what had been going on, it took about five days to sink in, but when it did he “completely broke down”.

Police told Troy to keep quiet about what had happened, for Clark’s protection, until after he was sentenced.

“But what about our protection from him?” he asked.
