Several photographs of children and three DVDs with unknown content are among the vital evidences collected by detectives of the Gloucestershire Constabulary Child Protection Unit from the Kovalam beachside house of Patrick Matthews in the case of alleged child sexual abuse by the UK national.
Matthews, a 62-year-old who worked as a volunteer at St George Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School in the city between 2003 and 2006 is accused of sexually abusing several boys of the school boarding.
Earlier investigations had yielded indications that Matthews used to take boys from the school boarding to the Kovalam house.
The investigators have recovered the following items from the house named Lakshmi House': A black folder containing paperwork of Batemans Trust (which introduced Matthews to St George School as a volunteer); Three CDs/ DVDs, Two packets of various photographs (including those of children); a letter, and a floor plan of the Kovalam property. It is learnt that Matthews had taken with him the documents of the property and a laptop which he was using during his stay here.
Neighbours said Matthews used to bring a few boys from outside the village during his stay in the house. "The boys, who were said to be from Chennai, appeared to be in the age group of 10- 12 years. They would stay with him for two or three days at a stretch," said a neighbour. A woman down the street recollected Patri' (Patrick) as a genial man who liked to spend time with children in the village. "They (children) would flock to his place when he comes. He would give them T-shirts, candies and pencils," she said. - Four-year-old raped by neighbour

Miami's tent city for sex offenders
A Miami law is forcing many of the city's sex offenders to sleep rough under a bridge.A life of tension, fear for sexual predators living under Miami bridge. By Robert Samuels (rsamuels@MiamiHerald.com), The Miami Herald.
The area under the Julia Tuttle Causeway in downtown Miami has in recent years become the unlikely home for a growing community of about 70 convicted sex offenders.
They have ended up living in a makeshift tent city under one of the causeway's bridges because of a local law which prohibits those who have sexually abused minors from living within 2,500 ft (760m) of anywhere where children congregate, such as schools, libraries and parks.
After the local laws were enacted, Florida's correctional authorities found there was virtually nowhere else for these people to live and began dropping them off at the bridge.
Some of them have even been issued driving licences with the bridge listed as their home address.
