Cadet Abuse Cover-Up Panorama

may find upsetting.

I promise to honour my God, my Queen and my country

and to do my best to serve him loyally and honourably

at all times...

The Army, Air and Sea Cadets.

Youth organisations where nearly 130,000 children in Britain

seek fun and adventure.

I further promise to be a good citizen and to do my duty

to God and the Queen, my country and my flag.

Overseen by the Ministry of Defence, the state is responsible

for the welfare of cadets.

Fire!

And to do my best to serve loyally and honourably at all times.

Look up.

Children who joined the cadets make a promise to serve loyally.

But for some, that promise was betrayed.

People in positions of power abused their trust and committed

the most serious crimes.

Crimes, that in many cases, were covered up.

Stewart was an air cadet in the 1990s.

This is the moment he confronts the cadet officer who

abused him as a child.

14 years after the abuse, Stewart secretly recorded this confession.

I was doing it to stop him causing any more damage to young

people in the future.

Finally, I'll be able to do something about something

that's been bugging me for a long, long time.

Today, Stewart has come to see lawyers David and Rebecca,

who're trying to uncover the extent of abuse within the cadets.

Good to see you.

They're pursuing compensation case against the Ministry of Defence

for what happened to Stewart.

The man Stewart had confronted was Chris Day, the commanding

officer of his air cadet unit in Woodford, Essex.

Day, abused Stewart on a cadet trip when Stewart was 15.

More than a decade later, Stewart went to see Chris Day

with a hidden recording device.

I went straight down to where he worked.

He came out of his office and he went white as a ghost.

Then he said, "not here at my work".

"Please, please, please."

And started begging.

So I said, come back to my house.

Come and see me, we have to talk.

Chris Day was tried and his confession was

played at the court case.

He was sentenced to two years in prison.

Stewart's story is not a one-off.

For the last seven months, Panorama has been investigating

sexual abuse within the cadets.

Repeatedly, across the country, we've found a pattern of senior

members of the cadet forces who knew abuse was going on, but didn't

report it to the police.

David and Rebecca work for law firm, Bolt Burdon Kemp,

who specialise in making claims in child abuse cases.

I think when we received our first instruction to bring a claim

against the MoD for abuse in the cadets, at the time

there was no real way to know this was going to be on the scale

that it is today.

But slowly and gradually, more and more clients

have come forward to us, seeking help to hold the MoD

to account and I can only see that rapidly increasing in the future.

I have absolutely no doubt that the abuse in the cadets

will mirror the other scandals like the Jimmy Savile case,

like abuse in the Scouts, like abuse in the Catholic Church.

Our investigation took us to Cheshunt, in Hertfordshire,

and to Tony, who lived nearby as a boy.

He joined the Cheshunt Sea Cadets in 1979 aged 13.

He was quite a quiet boy.

He liked his motors and all that when he was little.

Then as he grew up, my dad had been in the Navy and he was very

interested in that sort of thing.

The reason I joined is because my parents wanted to keep me off

the streets and out of trouble.

I must admit, the things I did there, I would never

have done otherwise.

Shotguns and 303 rifles, sailing and all that,

which was real good fun.

Tony regularly went on trips with the unit to naval bases.

He loved the experience, until he went for a long weekend

to HMS Pembroke in Chatham, Kent in 1981.

Tony comeback from the trip and he was very quiet.

Tony come back from the trip and he was very quiet.

He didn't have a lot to say about it, which we thought was strange.

Anyway, then I got talking to him, I think it was

the second day he was home.

And he said, "I don't want to go".

He was due to go on another trip and he said, "I don't want to go".

I said, "why on earth don't you want to go?"

And it came out.

This is the first time Tony has spoken to anyone about this

outside his close family.

I was away on a trip, in a mess hall, with about 20,

30 kids in it, you know?

One night, obviously there was a sensation and I woke

up and there he was.

I think he was actually crouching down by the bed and then he stood up

as soon as I woke up and...

I looked down and I was exposed, you know?

There's no doubt in my mind that...

You know?

He was touching me.

No doubt in my mind whatsoever.

You were 15, how did you react?

Shocked.

You were wondering all night, you know, what's going to happen,

is he going to come back, what do you do?

Where do you go?

And then the next morning, I was still thinking,

has this happened to me?

The man in question was Allan Waters, then aged 33.

In his day job he was working with children at the local

education authority.

In his downtime he was the commanding officer

of the Cheshunt Sea Cadets unit.

My dad was really angry, he wanted to sort of, kill him.

My husband was absolutely distraught.

He went out in the car and look for where Waters lived and thank

God he didn't find him, because if he had, I think we would

have ended up being in trouble.

Carole and her husband approached a senior member

of Cheshunt Sea Cadets and told him what had happened to their son Tony.

He promised action and reported it up the cadet chain of command.

A few days later, Carole and her husband had a visit

at the family home.

These two people come from the head office and they turned up

in a really big posh car and they had full uniform

all on and all like, I can remember gold bits

on the uniform.

The men who came to the house completely accepted Tony's

allegations, but said they wanted to deal with the matter internally.

We was ready to go to the police and they convinced us that we should

not go to the police.

They tried to explain to us that if we went to the police,

that the Sea Cadets could be stopped and therefore, it wouldn't do

the children in the area any good, because it does keep the children

off the streets and that.

So, I was really put in the position of, what do you do?

It became clear that other parents also had

concerns about Allan Waters.

They were all invited by sea Cadet officers to Cheshunt Cadet Base.

Waters wasn't present at the meeting.

There was other parents there as well.

And it came out what he'd done to other boys.

He made it as if it had being having fun,

like he'd put things on their willies, string and...

It was all like silly little sexual things.

And between us parents that was there, we had to decide

what we was going to do.

And it was decided that he would be dismissed from Cheshunt and not work

with children any more, if we didn't go to the police.

In return for not pressing the complaint, Tony's parents say

they were promised Allan Waters would never work

with children again.

But panorama has discovered that was a lie.

The Sea Cadets didn't dismiss him, they didn't even suspend him,

in fact, they actually promoted him and moved him to another

division of the cadets.

But the warnings didn't stop.

Allan Waters' new job was Assistant District Officer

in north London, overseeing ten sea cadet units.

Panorama has discovered this letter from an officer from one of those

units sent at the time.

He tries to alert the Sea Cadets to the potential danger Waters poses

because it is inevitable he will come into

contact with children.

The reply from the Royal Navy captain in charge of all

the Sea Cadets, says the allegations against Waters were thoroughly

investigated and not proved.

In the reply, he also says Allan Waters' promotion had been

approved from the top because "his undoubted talent should

not be lost to the core."

It appears that Cadet High Command disregarded Tony's allegation

and the concerns of other parents and allowed Allan Waters to continue

having full access to children.

TRUMPET PLAYS.

In the late 70s, the Ministry of Defence made this recruitment

film, promoting the culture of cadet life and how instructors

could help guide children.

In many cases, young cadets came from deprived backgrounds.

Their welfare was entrusted to the care of cadet staff.

All volunteers with day jobs.

For difficult or distressed youngsters coming in,

they can immediately identify and feel secure.

There is a family setup, if you like.

They know what's required of them, they know what we want to do.

I think immediately, you know, they've got this

feeling of security.

By the 1980s, Britain's cadet forces where at the heart of many

communities across the country.

Glasgow was no exception.

One of the city's army cadet centres, the Glasgow

Highlanders Battalion was based on Hotspur Street on the west

side of the city.

The commanding officer here was 30-year-old John Fitzpatrick,

who was very popular with the boys in his care.

In 1987, Gordon was an instructor at the unit.

He was told that Fitzpatrick had sexually assaulted a cadet.

Three young cadets come over to me and said they would

like to have a wee chat in private.

They witnessed sexual abuse in one of the cadet rooms

in an overnight stay.

Gordon went straight to the police to report the allegations

about John Fitzpatrick.

But when he told his senior officer what he'd done,

the man was furious Gordon had involved the police.

He went ballistic, he was shouting over the phone, swearing.

Saying that I shouldn't have done, went to the police.

I should have phoned him and he would have dealt with it.

Glasgow Cadets didn't just put pressure on Gordon.

Panorama has spoken to the parents of the boy abused at the Cadet unit.

They were also told not to go to the police.

That's a story we've heard before.

In Cheshunt, Tony's parents were pressured not to report

an incident of child abuse.

And here in Glasgow too, the Cadets apparently didn't want

the police to investigate criminal activity committed by

the commanding officer.

But John Fitzpatrick was suspended after the boy's parents refused

to be bullied into silence.

They went to the police.

And the case went to court.

Panorama understands the jury came back with a verdict of not proven.

In Scottish law that means acquittal where there isn't enough evidence

to prove the allegations.

John Fitzpatrick went straight back into the unit and took up his role

as commanding officer once again.

Strangely it was like a hero's welcome.

Kind of slapping your back and welcome back, kind of thing.

And I was shocked at the reception he got.

Nobody investigated John Fitzpatrick, never came

in and spoke to the Cadets, never came and spoke to me.

Another boy, Colin, then joined the Cadet unit in Glasgow.

Here he is with John Fitzpatrick.

Or Fitzy as the boys knew him.

What was he like?

How was he running the unit?

He was good.

He was entertaining, he was fun.

Did you enjoy it?

It was, aye, it was to begin with.

We'd heard that he'd been done with stuff before but at that

point they were going, oh, that's Fitzy, he's taken him

in there, he's going to be...

It was just a joking thing between boys.

And when did that change?

For you?

It changed for me when I seen something happen.

One night, Colin was sleeping in a van on the roadside

with John Fitzpatrick and another boy on a Cadet trip.

And what happened was Fitzpatrick was lying in the middle.

And myself and another on the other side.

Lying on the wooden benches in our sleeping bags.

And what did you see?

So I just happened to wake up and as I happened to wake

up they turned round, Fitzpatrick was sitting up

and I could see the two fingers doing this and masturbating

the other boy.

And at that point I turned back round

and I grabbed my sleeping bag.

And I used to have a knife that my uncle gave me.

I called it a Rambo knife, kind of thing.

So what I done was I took that out of my rucksack,

took it close to me, and lay there.

So he must have known that me, being nervous,

that I had moved anyway.

So he then lay back down and I just faced into the bench.

Were you scared?

I was scared, aye.

It was that way, you were falling asleep for a wee minute but wakening

back up the whole night.

After what he witnessed in that van, Colin did talk to an older Cadet.

He thought it would be passed up the chain of command

and action would be taken.

Instead, he was summoned to see Fitzpatrick.

That night I got took up into his office, got marched

straight into his office.

He asked me whether I was spreading any rumours about him.

I denied all knowledge.

And after that did you feel able to tell anybody else or did you just

stop talking about it?

I stopped talking about it.

John Fitzpatrick stayed in charge of the unit and scores of other boys

were under his care for years.

The secrets of what happened in Glasgow in the 1980s

remained untold for decades.

Joe does house clearances.

A few years ago he got a call to clear out a flat in a tower block

on the east side of Glasgow.

I got a phone call to go to a block of flats over on a side of the city

that I don't normally go to, I don't normally get many calls.

But with the internet you can get a call to go anywhere.

I still, even at this stage, I didn't know where I was going.

Then as I got out of the car park and I walked in to the block

of flats, everything hit me.

It was like the smell of the place, was exactly the same

as what I could remember it 25 years before.

Joe was having a flashback.

He had indeed visited the flats before.

He too had been a Cadet at Fitzpatrick's unit in the 1980s.

He realised he'd returned to the block where John Fitzpatrick lived.

Where he'd been taken several times as a young boy.

It was like a privilege to be chosen.

To go to his house.

He used to take us in the back of an army truck,

there was no windows.

So I didn't know where I was going, because it was a different side

to the city that I didn't recognise, I'd never been to before.

I'd heard about the nights where you get to play computer games

and he gets you drunk and you're allowed to drink.

And it kind of felt kind of grown up.

But then there was other things that went on that weren't very pleasant.

Joe was 11 the first time he went to John Fitzpatrick's flat.

After the boys had been plied with alcohol, Fitzpatrick put

on videos for them to watch.

Pornographic material, but I don't mean pornographic

material like an adult channel.

I mean real hard-core stuff that I've never seen

since I was in that guy's company.

Or that guy's house.

Images that have stuck with me in my mind to this day.

If anybody put images like that in front of my kids,

I'd want to kill them.

After the videos ended, the boys would sleep

on sofas in the living room of John Fitzpatrick's flat.

He would sleep in the same room as us.

On the floor.

And as I would wake up, he would move away from us.

But the more confident he got, you could tell he was getting more

confident and he would kind of stay there.

Even though he knew you were kind of awake.

Each of the four times that I woke up in the middle of the night

with my trousers down round my ankles, my

pants around my ankles.

And him over me, touching my privates.

Joe didn't speak about the abuse for 25 years.

It was only that chance visit to the block where Fitzpatrick lived

that made him go to the police, just a few years ago.

Last year, a rather different looking John Fitzpatrick was charged

with lewd and libidinous behaviour against Joe and three other boys.

And this time the case against him was proven.

He was sentenced to two years in prison.

It was the biggest, best relief in the world,

when the guy in the jury stood up and went, guilty on all counts.

Guilty, guilty, guilty.

And she said, take him down.

And I was cheering.

It was a big, big weight off my shoulders.

It's the MOD's responsibility to make sure that their

kids are protected.

And it's the right kind of people they've got in those positions.

He worked, I don't know, say a decade in there.

They must have hundreds of kids that went through at the same age,

11 to 13, 12 to 14.

There must be so many more that could be out there that

he's sexually abused.

The abuse Joe suffered has had a significant impact on his life.

You'd forget it for years, weeks, months, and then it

would hit you, bang.

And I tended to drink to block it out, to not feel anything any more.

Didn't want to think about it.

In 2001 the Ministry of Defence's own police force did investigate

historic abuse at Glasgow's and Lanarkshire's Cadet units.

It resulted in the two former instructors being jailed.

But John Fitzpatrick's unit wasn't part of the investigation.

OK, fellas, you're on your own from now on.

This is where I leave you.

Joe is travelling to London for a meeting with lawyers David

and Rebecca to discuss whether he has a financial claim

against the Ministry of Defence.

It's a simple choice.

What do you value more, the reputation of the organisation,

or the welfare of vulnerable children in your care?

And clearly in these instances they made

a terrible, terrible choice.

I mean, there's absolutely no excuse for that to ever take place.

And that's the thing that allows abuse to continue for years

and years and years.

I found out that there's people could have stopped it.

That worked in the MoD, that knew that he'd been

accused of this before.

That this had went to court before.

Yet they let him back in and then he's done that to me.

I don't know how different my life would have been.

I'm finding that hard to come to terms with right now.

He should never have been let anywhere near that group.

And you should not have come into contact with him.

And if they had acted properly and stopped him

from rejoining the group, then none of this

would have happened.

And because of that, they are negligent and they are

responsible for what happened.

To date, the Ministry of Defence has paid out more than ?2 million

to victims of Cadet abuse.

And that's likely not the end of it.

Across the country, we've talked to new survivors

who have never before spoken about their experiences.

And we've found repeatedly that senior figures within the Cadet

forces tried to cover up the abuse suffered by children in their care.

Right, keep in your ranks...

Was there anything about the Cadet force that made child

abuse more possible?

The children who joined the Cadets were trained to follow orders.

To obey authority figures.

Was that exploited by abusers?

Martin was an Army Cadet at Tennal Grange in South Birmingham.

His commanding officer was Brian Leonard.

The atmosphere was one of a military establishment.

You learned very quickly to obey orders.

You learned very quickly to do as you were told.

And not to question.

There was a culture of abuse from the offset.

What do you mean by that?

Well, part of the induction, part of the training

as an army cadet was...

I remember we were stood in a big circle and you literally had

to punch your mate to your left as hard as you can in the face.

That was part of your induction training.

Probably not the official induction training,

but that was what I remember, all standing in a circle

and punching each other in the face and trying not to cry.

And that was part of the induction.

Was anyone aware what was happening to you?

Well, this is the thing.

It was so blatantly obvious, it was almost as if it was

hidden in full sight.

I was systematically abused and raped repeatedly over many years.

And you're trained to respect the elders and respect the officers

and do as they tell you.

And that does include having to lie on the floor on a dirty...

On a dirty blanket.

On a dirty blanket, and just lie there and take it.

You just follow the orders, just do as you're told.

Do as you're told.

Lie on the floor and take it like a boy.

Otherwise, you know, you're not made strong stuff

if you don't lie there and take it.

Just take it like a man.

But Martin wasn't alone.

We have spoken to ten former cadets who were abused

by Brian Leonard in the 1980s.

For years they all believed that nobody had ever spoken out

about what had happened at Tennal Grange.

They were wrong.

Someone had tried to blow the whistle, and it was covered up.

In 1987 one of Brian Leonard's victims told his girlfriend

what had happened to him when he was at the Army Cadets.

It had ruined his life.

She has never spoken about it before.

I was asking him all the time, you know, what's wrong?

What's wrong?

I could see he wasn't his normal self.

And he just said, I've got something to tell

you that no one knows, and I don't want

you to tell anybody.

And he told me that he'd been abused at the cadets.

When he used to go away on camps, you know, this Leonard had

done things to him.

Sarah went to Tennal Grange to find Brian Leonard.

She wanted to confront him about what he'd done to her boyfriend.

And I just basically attacked him.

I said, "you've been abusing my boyfriend."

And he said, "don't be stupid, he's a liar".

He said a few things to me, pushed me towards this table and chairs.

I picked up this chair and I remember, I was going

to launch it at him and then this other Sergeant came

in and saw me and said, "what the hell's going on in here?"

And I told him and he said "no, we'll talk to you,

we'll take a statement."

Sarah's statements set out how Leonard had

abused her boyfriend.

She also planned to go to the police.

But like in Cheshunt and Glasgow, she was told not to.

Leonard said if I went to the police it would be me more in

trouble than him because they've got proof I attacked him and caused

damage at the cadet centre.

She says the sergeant who witnessed the

altercation promised he would pass her statement on to superiors.

If he'd done so, you might expect an investigation,

but neither Sarah nor her boyfriend were ever contacted

about the abuse by Brian Leonard.

I should have investigated it.

It shouldn't have been just pushed under.

I am totally angry, I feel sick.

I'm haunted by it, that they allowed it for so many years.

They're responsible for everything.

They should have been protecting me and

my boyfriend, but they didn't.

The Army Cadet Force had the chance to stop

Brian Leonard, but they failed.

At least one of the people we've spoken to was abused after Sarah had

attempted to raise the alarm.

This is a pattern we found repeatedly

during our investigation, of cadet officers failing to help victims

when faced with allegations against one of their own.

The Birmingham case was one of the first taken on

by lawyers David and Rebecca.

It's also one of the biggest and most complex.

What became clear, was that Brian Leonard was not the only

abuser at Tennal Grange.

When we first took on the Birmingham case, it quickly

became apparent that the problem the MoD were facing with regards to

abuse in the cadets was potentially huge.

We started off with one client and then grew up to eight or nine

clients and this is a case involving more than one abuser who is

committing child sexual offences over decades.

Peter Cooper was an adult intructor in Birmingham,

often working at the same cadet unit as Brian Leonard.

Robert had joined the cadets at the age of 12.

This is where they used to bring us on a regular basis

in their vehicles and abuse us.

Soon after he joined he was propositioned by Peter Cooper.

I remember one of the times, we had a small kitchen area

where you would make coffee and stuff for break time

and I was working in there and Peter Cooper came

in and he said to me, he said "I'm going

to have something off

you by the time you're 16."

Did you know what he meant?

No, not at that time I didn't, but I think it became pretty clear

within a very short space of time what he did mean.

One incident of many sticks in his mind.

The day Cooper insisted the young cadet come to his house to pick up

some equipment for a trip.

He started to touch me.

Then he took me into his kitchen and raped me in his kitchen.

I remember looking out of the kitchen window and there were

fields behind his house.

I was just looking at the fence in his garden,

just transfixed on points to hope it would finish quickly.

Just a feeling of, you've got no power to fight it,

you are a child and there's nothing you can do about it.

Robert left the cadets and didn't tell anyone about the abuse.

When he was 21, he began a successful career

as a police officer.

One day, he was at work at Steelhouse Lane police

station in Birmingham.

I was asked to help make an arrest and told to go to one of the rooms

at the police station to wait for these other officers to turn up.

I was just stuck there and in walked Peter Cooper.

His abuser Peter Cooper was also a police officer and had served

with West Midlands Police for 32 years throughout his

time at the cadets.

He stuck his hand out and pretended I was his friend.

I shook his hand and that scared me, because I was an adult at that stage

and I suddenly realised that even though this abuse was never

going to happen to me again by these people,

this individual still had a huge amount of control over me.

And what was more worrying, we was investigating

people who were committing offences against children.

Peter Cooper was an officer in child protection for four years.

For Robert, discovering his abuser's job was to protect children

was a catalyst, he knew he had to act.

I just broke down one day, walked out of the office

and at that point for me, it was a case of I was either

going to end my life, I was at a huge junction

where it was end your life or report it.

And it was as simple as that.

Robert's decision led to Cooper's dismissal from the police force.

He went on trial for buggery and indecent assault and

went to prison.

Throughout the trial, Peter Cooper maintained his

innocence and does to this day.

BAGPIPES PLAY.

You see a cadet coming in who seems like any other boy and within a few

months he seems to have developed a great deal.

He knows exactly where he is placed.

He says, right, here I am, I'm a recruit.

Now, if I do so and so and so and so...

I think that the uncovering of this scandal around cadets

is going to be massive.

I'm glad the spotlight is now being shone on that

particular murky world.

Oh God, our Father who has brought us together...

Peter Saunders, founder of the National Association

of People Abused in Childhood, was himself abused

by priests as a boy.

He is a leading advocate for survivors of child abuse.

At NAPAC, we are aware of multiple cover-ups with many institutions

going back many decades.

They're all extremely serious.

Any cover-ups of this nature are extremely serious and

need to be dealt with and certainly need to not be repeated.

And I think the cover-ups that are being exposed

here are as serious as anything we've heard of in the 20 years that

NAPAC has been running.

Three of the abusers in this film have served time in prison.

Chris Day from Woodford Cadets.

John Fitzpatrick from Glasgow Highlanders.

And Peter Cooper from Birmingham.

All are now free.

Brian Leonard died in 1996, having never faced justice.

As for Allan Waters, even after he had abused Tony

in Cheshunt and his parents had been promised Waters would never have

contact with children again, he rose through the ranks

of the Sea Cadets for a further 23 years.

But in 2006, he was finally brought to justice.

He was arrested and put on trial in India for abusing and raping boys

at an orphanage in Mumbai.

It was run by his naval friend Duncan Grant.

The courts found them both guilty, but two years later

they weren't an appeal.

Waters gave an interview to the BBC, protesting his innocence.

They are terrible crimes to be convicted of.

I mean, I've been working on and off with people for years, years,

years and years and years.

You know, no problems at all.

But sometime after that interview, the pair were sent back to prison

by a higher Indian court.

To protect the innocent and punish those who abuse them.

That was the message from the Supreme Court as it

overturned the Bombay High Court's acquittal of two men

accused of paedophilia.

Duncan Grant and Allan Waters, accused of

one of the biggest child sex abuse rackets in the country will now be

sent to prison for six years.

Vindication for street children who managed

to speak up against them.

But could those street children have been protected if the Sea Cadets had

acted differently faced with Tony's allegations 25 years before.

Made us feel terrible because we thought if we perhaps had

gone to the police we could have said that happening.

I don't know.

Do you feel guilty?

I feel guilty about that, yes.

Waters returned to the UK in 2012 and was made to sign

the sex offenders register.

In March this year, he still held a title in a naval

veteran's organisation - Honourary Secretary

of HMS President, Retired Officers Association.

In response to the Allan Waters case, a spokesperson

for the Sea Cadets said:

For decades, the cadet forces in the United Kingdom have welcomed

hundreds and thousands of children into their ranks.

But throughout the 1970s and 80s, a significant number

of those children suffered from a culture of silence.

A culture, which, rather than tackle the abuse

going on, tried to cover it up.

It was a serious institutional failure.

The Ministry of Defence told Panorama:

For Martin, the abuse he suffered from age 12 completely changed

the course of his life.

I will never really know who I should be,

or who I should've been.

I got above average on the UKLF, United Kingdom Land Force's

Cadet Leadership Course, I was selected to join

the Royal Marines.

I was told I should go to Sandhurst and get a commission in the regular

army and I WOULD get a commission in the regular army.

I'll never get those years back and those opportunities back

because they were wiped off, they were wiped out.

It's hard to know the extent of sexual abuse within

Britain's Cadet forces.

Panorama has obtained previously unpublished figures

from the Ministry of Defence, which show that in the last five

years, they've been made aware of 363 sexual abuse allegations.

99 instructors have been dismissed.

The men who have spoken out about what happened to them have

broken the wall of silence that surrounded the terrible events that

took place in the past.

What we don't know, is how many more are out there.
