John Patrick Conway “former postman and church missionary denies six charges of
indecent assault on a boy under 14 between April 1979 and May 1986. John “claims either
his brother Martyn Conway “tricked” the boy into thinking it was actually him for seven years
or the victim genuinely could not distinguish the difference between them both.” ‘His twin
brother Martyn has admitted six charges of sexual assault on the same boy.” John Patrick
along with his brother Martyn (who was convicted for child sexual abuse and branded as a
predatory pedophile with convictions in 1990 and again in 2006) met the victim at the

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. “The jury has been told that Martyn Conway
began the sex with the boy – and John Conway would ask the boy what his brother had
done and then repeat it.” The victim “said the abuse by the brothers stopped between 1980 and 1982
when they went away to be missionaries but it started again within six months of their return.”
