A MAN repeatedly crept into a tent to rape one young boy and molest two others at a Scout camp, a court heard.

Graham Wilson, 46, has admitted four charges of sexual activity with three boys under the age of 14 at the Chalfont Heights Scout Camp in Denham Lane, Chalfont St Peter, in October last year.

He is also currently standing trial for rape, or an alternative charge of attempted rape, of a 13-year-old boy at Aylesbury Crown Court. Wilson has admitted abusing the boy, but denies rape or attempted rape.

He left his home in Farnham Common on the night of the incidents. He drove to the campsite intent on satisfying his sexual urges with innocent young boys, the court heard.

Wilson, whose hobby is writing erotic books about adolescents, said: "The intention was to go and lay next to the boys, just to see what it felt like to be close to them.

"I did not want to wake them up. I was very nervous. I wanted to touch them without them knowing.

Christopher Donnellan, prosecuting, said: "You crawled into a tent in the middle of the night, where four boys were sleeping, thinking they were safe in a camp. Did you not think they would be frightened out of their wits? Did you not think that what you did would hurt them? Your urges had taken control. You were not in control at all. You were being driven by sexual urges."

The alleged victim's mother said: "When we got home he spent two hours in the bath, using every cleaning product available.

"He asked if he could sleep in my bed that night, but neither of us got any sleep."

His mother added that he had been unable to sleep on his own since the attack and can't even do his paper round without her.

The court heard Wilson spent around three hours going in and out of the tent a total of five times.

He abused the ten-year-old and an 11-year-old before moving on to his main victim, the court was told.

Wilson admits using the boy for his sexual gratification, but said he did not rape him. However, DNA matching Wilson's was found on the young boy's body.

Giving evidence by video link, the alleged victim found it very difficult to speak about what had happened.

The court heard he told his best friend he had been raped shortly after they had breakfast the next morning. The police were called to the scene immediately.

The victim was later examined by a doctor at the Beaconsfield Rape Suite, who took swabs for DNA.

These were later matched to Wilson, however no injuries were found.

Kim Head, who worked with Wilson at a distribution company in Slough, said he was on good form the Monday after the incident. She said he seemed chatty and excited on the Monday.

"He said he had been writing and writing, he just could not stop. He said the characters had come to life."

Martin Joy, defending, said Wilson was a danger to the public and a danger to himself and would be punished for his crimes, but it was important to get the charge right.

He said: "It is important however abhorrent the defendant's behaviour, that he is convicted of the right offence.

"The victim felt totally violated, as he had been, but was he sure of what had actually happened?"

The trial continues.
