He went to interview the father of the girl who had been repeatedly raped and abused, and is currently in prison. He clearly went with the intention of inciting trouble, and has clearly got what he wanted. Seems reckless to travel all that way if he just wanted an interview as he could have done that online.
Interestingly, I noticed the other day that the man who groped his daughter at Centre Parcs a few months back was arrested for sexual assault of a minor.
