He endured years of child abuse from his schoolteacher and Peter Righton, founder of PIE, Paedophile Information Exchange in the 1970s. Briggs enlisted in the army, was wounded in action, living homeless in London, built a business and finally faced his abuser in courts forty years after the incident.
