Rapist's Volunteer Role, Victim's Trauma

About this episode

A convicted rapist and murderer, Ronald Evans, volunteered at a community center, where he sexually assaulted a vulnerable woman. The centers manager, Kathleen Fraser, faced backlash for approving Evans volunteer spot without knowing his full criminal history and for allegedly discouraging the victim from reporting the assault. Fraser, who later became Brents Labour deputy mayor, was suspended from the party after a complaint was upheld. The victim, who has lifetime anonymity, opened up about feeling violated and ostracized, while Fraser denies discouraging the report and insists she urged police involvement. This saga highlights gaps in safeguarding at places meant to help the vulnerable, as the victim fights for truth and safety in her community.

On April 21st, a convicted rapist and murderer named Ronald Evans, known as the Clifton Rapist, got out on parole in 2018 after decades, behind bars. This 85-year-old started volunteering at a Wimbley Community Center's mental health drop-in, run by then-counselor, Kathleen Frazier. There, he sexually assaulted a vulnerable woman he met in 2022, landing him four more years in prison after his conviction. Frazier, who later became Brent's Labor Deputy Mayor, approved Evans' volunteer spot, without knowing his full criminal history, she claims. The victim says Frazier tried talking her out of going to police right after the attack, deleted group chat warnings about Evans and even banned her. From the center, Frazier also showed up as a defense witness at his trial. The victim, who has lifetime anonymity, opened up about feeling violated, dirty, and stuck with PTSD. She'd gone to the sessions to beat lockdown isolation, trusting Frazier as a community

leader. Instead, she got ostracized by locals, branded a liar, and left broken saying she hasn't felt happy since, and fears the damage is permanent. Labor's National Constitutional Committee have held the victim's complaint against Frazier last month, saying she'd have been expelled. Frazier quit the party one day before the ruling, and now runs as an independent eyeing re-election in May 2026. She denies discouraging the report, insists she urged police involvement, and calls the probe flawed. This saga highlights huge gaps in safeguarding at places meant to help the vulnerable. The victim stands firm, fighting for truth and safety in her community, refusing to be driven out no matter the backlash.
