Clem Ready

former cult member

Clem Ready, a former member of the controversial Gloriavale community, has publicly criticized the cult-like practices of the group, particularly the disciplinary tactics used on children. At 70 years old, he reflects on his past actions, including a conviction for assaulting his daughters, and expresses deep remorse for how he and other parents were manipulated by the community's leaders. Despite his disillusionment, he remains at Gloriavale to tend to his deceased daughter's grave and fight against the oppressive leadership he believes continues to harm children.
