The 65-year-old insists he is not a child molester and dismisses the claims as 'false memories'
A FORMER foster daughter of self-proclaimed "virtuous paedophile" Gary Gibson has confronted him on television claiming he raped her when she was a child - days after he insisted he had never acted on his sexual urges.
Jazzmyne Holden was 10 when she went to live with her new foster parents Gary and his wife Tabitha Gibson.
Her shocking claims come just weeks after Gary spoke exclusively to The Sun about 'non-offending paedophiles', who are attracted to kids but choose not to act on their urges.
But Gary insists the claims are "false memories" and insists he is not a child molester.
Jazzmyne, now 20, said: "On the surface, it seemed really nice.
"They were vegetarian... went to church all the time. But underneath, he was molesting me."
She spent just three months with Gary and British-born Tabitha before she was removed by Child Protection Services - which she says was because of reports that Gary had touched children in his care.
But Gary insists it was because one of his foster kids made up a story that he left them in the woods alone.
Jazzmyne, who confronted Gary and Tabitha about the claims on the Dr Phil Show, says that it was more than a year later when she began to remember the alleged abuse.
She says she was making soup, aged 11 or 12, when she spilled the hot liquid all over her legs and crotch. The burning sensation brought back uncomfortable memories of her time with Gary Gibson.
"It sent me into a panic attack. I looked up at my mom and said I believe that Gary had raped me," Jazzmyne said.
"I didn't recall specifically what happened. I just remembered pain where I shouldn't been having pain at 11 years old."
"The next day, my mom took me to the doctor and the doctor was able to tell that I had been sexually abused at one point in time."
The incident was previously investigated by police and no criminal charges were filed.
Gary, who denies all the allegations, later came forward to admit that he is attracted to little children - particularly young girls - but claims he has never acted on his urges.
The 65-year-old from Oregon, USA, even set up a non-profit organisation - the Association for Sexual Abuse Prevention - to help people like him who he says choose not to offend.
But Jazzmyne, who believes she was raped by Gary four to five times, says she was sickened by his claims he never touched children.
"For him to claim that everything that I remember is off of false memories is ridiculous. I didn't make this up," she told the Dr Phil Show, according to
"'Gary speaking out about being a virtuous paedophile is disgusting. For him to claim he's virtuous and control it, it's just a slap to the face.
"I want people to know what he did to me, that he's not who he says he is.
"And I want people to listen because I'm trying to save somebody else.
"I don't want anybody else to go through what I went through, what I still go through. I'm proof he's lying."
Gary - whose family has a dark history of incestual abuse - previously told The Sun he was told by a counsellor in the 1980s that he had been abused by his mum, but she strongly denied the claim.
He now believes many therapists in that era pushed their clients into developing a "false memory".
Jazzmyne says she suffers from panic attacks and night terrors as a result of the abuse, and says Gary's wife Tabitha - originally from Canterbury, Kent - remains "blissfully in the dark".
"She doesn't wanna see it. She doesn't wanna believe it so, she just goes about it and pretend it's not there.
"This is the man she lays in bed with every night. So, she ignores it."
Gary, a Christian ex-teacher, openly admits he is a paedophile but says he is "not a child molester".
He says he came out to his wife Tabitha after the brush with police following Holden's allegations.
He claimed Holden may have "developed false memories because of pressure from a counsellor or what".
He added that she had come to him as an adult where he had "assured her that that had not happened";.
"She was glad to hear that."
Gary admits he has been sexually attracted to little girls for the past 60 years "but chooses not to act on it".
His wife has been incredibly accepting of his attraction to young girls - and even lets him discuss when he sees a "cute girl".
"Sometimes when we see an attractive girl I'll mention it to her and she'll say 'yeah, she is a real cute girl.' But she means like you know cute and I mean like I'm sexually attracted to her," he explained.
Gary revealed how his struggle intensified after his first marriage broke down in the nineties, and he decided to "spend some time out in the South Pacific" where there were "a lot of little girls running around naked".
After a couple of years he returned home, and met British nurse Tabitha Abel - woman who would become his wife - through a Christian singles dating site in 2004.
They married in 2005 and later built a log cabin in Oregon, which included rooms for their grandchildren.
But he was still dogged by his desires.
"The first time I remember changing my daughter’s diaper I thought, 'Am I going to touch her' or something, but I made the decision right there that was not going to happen," he says, before explaining how he and his wife chose to adopt foster children because their grandchildren did not visit enough.
Gibson says when Holden came forward with her allegations, three years after she left his foster care, his brush with the police forced him to "come out" to his wife.
Gary - whose family has a dark history of incestual abuse - previously told The Sun that a counsellor in the 1980s believed he had been abused by his mum, but she strongly denied the claim.
He now believes many therapists in that era pushed their clients into developing a "false memory".
Sun Online has tried to contact Gary for a comment on the claims.
