When Courage Becomes a Story: The Unforgettable Journey of Steve James Briggs

Steve James Briggs’s journey began in Blackpool in 1966, within the structured confines of a military family. Yet beneath the surface of this ordinary beginning lay the seeds of extraordinary trauma. As a child, Briggs endured systematic abuse from his schoolteacher and Peter Righton, the founder of the notorious Paedophile Information Exchange (PIE). The scars of this betrayal will follow him for decades, shaping a story that is as much about the long road to justice as it is about personal survival.
