Evidence: | Transcript of interview: 'The school library had a reasonably wide selection ā we could take out one fiction and one non-fiction a week but the English teacher would vet them to see what we were taking out. There was a book called Anthony Adverse that fell open at a specific page because it had what we thought was a scene of terrifically kinky sex ā I think actually that it was probably really very mild ā just the woman was on top and we were very intrigued by it. Iām sure the English teacher had never read that.' |
