<figcaption class="media-caption"> <span class="off-screen">Image caption</span> <span class="media-caption__text"> Det Sgt Neil Wilson's team uncovered evidence of "widespread" sexual abuse within the cult </span> </figcaption> </figure><p>Police Scotland's National Rape Task Force was first alerted about Lincoln by Hertfordshire Constabulary in late 2014.</p><p>At the time Det Sgt Wilson admitted he had never heard of the Children of God.</p><p>As the investigation progressed officers uncovered evidence of "widespread" sexual abuse.</p><p>The team established that the sect had arrived in Scotland in the 1970s and within a decade had thousands of members.</p><p>Lincoln's first victim, who knew him as John Green, named others but the process of tracking them down was complicated by the fact the cult members had aliases, often biblical names.</p><h2 class="story-body__crosshead">'Boarded up'</h2><p>Another major challenge was determining where the offences took place as many communes were based in remote locations.</p><p>Det Sgt Wilson told BBC Scotland: "The children were raised in isolated conditions and moved around a lot, more often than not under the cover of darkness in the back of vans. </p><p>"They were not told where they were and they were not allowed to play outside or mix with other children.</p><p>"The curtains in any houses that they lived in were always closed and doors were boarded up."</p><p>As a result officers faced a significant challenge to map their movements.</p><p>Det Sgt Wilson added: "We were able to work out the various locations from landmarks and the architecture of buildings that victims remembered seeing."</p><p>Prayer classes and chores were a part of everyday life and children, who were mostly born into the cult, were also home-schooled.</p><p>For the majority their only interaction with society was when they were taken into city centres to beg or play instruments.</p><p>They were also well-drilled about keeping secrets from "systemites" in the outside world, especially social workers.</p><p>Some were even put on a plane and sent to cult members in countries such as Pakistan and India.</p><p>The organisation had communes in Edinburgh and Glasgow, where some cult properties had up to 50 residents under one roof.</p><p>The attacks Lincoln admitted occurred at various addresses in Ayrshire, Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire between 1989 and 1996.</p><p>Det Sgt Wilson said: "When the offences took place he held the role of what victims would describe as a house shepherd, which meant he had complete access to people's homes and bedrooms.</p><p>"He was a teacher, he was trusted around people's children and, when the parents weren't there, he used this access as a means to prey on young girls."</p><h2 class="story-body__crosshead">'Light went out'</h2><p>Last month, the High Court in Glasgow heard the girls were as young as nine and 10 when they were initially targeted. </p><p>The first victim described Lincoln as "stern and controlling" and said he once put duct tape on her mouth and beat her with a belt.</p><p>Another time he pinned her down on a bed and held his hand over her mouth while he raped her. </p><p>Recalling the traumatic experience, she said: "The light went out inside me."</p><p>When the girl was aged 12 Lincoln apologised to her for his behaviour but, despite this, his offending became more frequent.</p><p>It included a serious sex attack in a wooded area after he took her out jogging. </p><p>Prosecutor Kath Harper said: "The abuse continued daily and sometimes after raping her he would say 'thank you'."</p><p>She added that the victim, who was dubbed "the weird kid" by other youngsters, also tried to take her own life.</p><p>After abusing his second victim Lincoln would tell her he was sorry and frequently bought her gifts.</p><p>Det Sgt Wilson said: "Any concerns that were raised to other senior house members were just ignored and the offending just became commonplace.</p><p>"It was expected and they knew it was coming."</p><h2 class="story-body__crosshead">Nomadic lifestyle</h2><p>The cult set up communes in properties that were either gifted by members or rented and financed through benefit claims.</p><p>When cashflow became a problem and eviction orders were served Lincoln was among those tasked with identifying new locations.</p><p>Precisely when the sex offender, who is originally from Newcastle, moved north is unclear.</p><p>But he is thought to have become active in the cult as a missionary in his 20s, never had any formal employment and lived a transient, nomadic lifestyle. </p><p>Lincoln married but, according to detectives, was in a "number of relationships" and fathered "several children".</p><p>The UK-wide probe also involved the National Crime Agency and UK Border Agency.</p><p>And when police were tipped off that he may be abroad they worked with Europol, Interpol and the French authorities.</p><p>Those inquiries led to the city of Pau where Lincoln was found to be "cooperative" and living a quiet life with no apparent links to any cult. </p><p>The case is the second involving the Children of God, following the 2018 conviction of Alexander Watt.</p><p>He admitted four charges of sexually abusing his daughter and another child in Renfrewshire and on the east coast of Scotland.</p><figure class="media-with-caption"> <div class="player-with-placeholder"> <img class="media-placeholder player-with-placeholder__image narrative-video-placeholder"

no evidence to link Watt with Lincoln.</p><h2 class="story-body__crosshead">'Sincere apologies'</h2><p>The sect, which later became known as The Family International, told BBC Scotland Lincoln was "excommunicated" in 1999.</p><p>In 2010 The Family International disbanded its previous structure and now describes itself as a "small online network" with 1,500 members in 80 countries.</p><p>A spokeswoman told BBC Scotland that, prior to its policy for the protection of minors being adopted in 1986, children were exposed to "sexually inappropriate behaviour".</p><p>Three years later sexual contact between an adult and a child was declared an "excommunicable offence."</p><p>The spokeswoman added: "The Family International has expressed its apologies on numerous occasions to any members or former members who feel that they were hurt in any way during their membership</p><p>"We continue to extend our sincere apologies to anyone who experienced anything negative or hurtful during their childhood or time as members of the Family International."</p><p>Det Sgt Wilson welcomed the sentence and issued a direct appeal to former cult members.</p><p>He said: "Nothing will undo the despicable acts that Lincoln committed and I hope the victims finally have some sense of closure with these convictions.</p><p>"My message to anyone who has been the victim of abuse is that it has become clear that time is no barrier to reporting.</p><p>"Police Scotland will give you a voice and your voice will be heard."</p> </div> </div> <div id="topic-tags"><div id="u17712169280275702"><div
