He says he was also involved sexually with Sally Ann Bowen. But he's not sure he wants to talk about it.

I call Gareth to fill him in, and this particular bit of news, that a boy his own age, in his year at school, had a relationship with Sally-Ann Bowen, it hits him much harder than he's expecting.

I know that it's difficult for me to say to you, don't get caught up emotionally until we've confirmed it, because there's no point in saying that, and I can imagine you've already gone there in your head.

After months of texting back and forth, debating whether or not to talk to me, the guy who walked Miss Bowen home accepts an invitation to come round to mine for lunch. Shall we have something to eat?

He's friendly and open, but he's clear. He doesn't want us to use his real name, so we're calling him Sanjay. I don't remember this, but it turns out I've met Sanjay before. He came to a house party I threw when I was 17. Back then, we were all goths.

We spent a while rewinding the clock and talking about a lot of the same bands we were into. And then the conversation turns to Gareth. Sanjay remembers him as a bit arrogant, a bit of a bully. And although there are common threads, Sanjay's experience is very different from Gareth's. So when did you sort of have any interaction with her? When did you start having any interaction with her?

Sanjay says that he, Gareth and the other two would meet up regularly at the cafe with Miss Bowen. The incredible thing is, Gareth has no memory whatsoever of sitting with Sanjay in the cafe. But Sanjay remembers him being there, at least for some of the time. And what did you talk about when you would all hang out there?

He says that after a while, those lunch break chats with Miss Bowen in the cafe change in tone. The other boys, who are all much wilder and more confident than Sanjay, they start pushing boundaries and finding that there isn't much resistance.
