Viewers may find details in this report distressing.

A man who lived in a care home as a child has told a new documentary he was raped by the Bay City Rollers manager Tam Paton at the age of thirteen.

He also says he was blackmailed – being told the abuse would stop if he brought other boys to Paton’s house.

In the programme Secrets of the Bay City Rollers on STV tonight, presenter Nicky Campbell also talks about his own struggle to come to terms with being abused by a teacher while at school in Edinburgh in the 1970s.
