Early life

Griffiths and his sister Wendy were abandoned by their parents when he was six months old and she was 18 months. They were left with their mother’s 74-year-old neighbour, who abused them before welfare officers rescued them.[1][13][14][15] Due to his unusual childhood, he does not have a birth certificate, but believes he was born in early 1966.[6]

Personal life

Griffiths lives in Cairns, Queensland.
