Daniel French clambered over a locked gate in the middle of the night and wandered around London’s Leicester Square Gardens, where he made “sexual motions” toward several iron railings, then announced to police, “I’m going to have sex with a fence.” Later, in City of Westminster Magistrates Court, French was asked by a judge if he intended to follow through on his urges, and French denied ever threatening to rape a fence, saying “That’s disgusting.” This is something we see in family counseling all the time and is caused by childhood trauma. When parents continually bring home strange fences and random iron railings, so that the child doesn’t know from week to week which fence and which railing he might find in his mother’s room when he gets home from school, he’ll develop an inner rage that will frequently show up in later life as he’s aroused by cast iron facings, ornate latticework, and even, in some extreme cases, the agricultural pens erected by stonemasons on pig farms.
