For a Welsh choirboy, it was the stuff of dreams. Within the walls of Caernarfon Castle, Kenner Elias J. proudly held aloft the white cross at the investiture of Prince Charles as the Prince of Wales. Thirty years later, the charismatic Mr. J. cuts an equally spiritual figure at the head of an evangelical movement that claims to be leading hundreds of prison inmates towards a crime-free future. But when money is at stake, this life-long churchgoer seems to lose any regard for Christian teachings.
An investigation by The Independent has found the national coordinator of a religious community, that has been allowed to take control of entire prison wings, is a consummate conman with over 70 criminal convictions.
Earlier this year Ken J. is arrested in the Netherlands, and released a month later. BBC Wales wants to know if he is still in the Netherlands. It turns out that Ken J. had already ripped off all the Dutch hotels where he stayed.
