Three men ⁠— one now lives as a woman ⁠— allegedly sexually abused a child more than a decade ago in London, Ont., in a sordid encounter arranged by the alleged victim’s parents.

Crown attorney Jennifer Strasberg outlined the disturbing allegations Monday, asserting that Martin Galloway, a former Scottish cop and commercial photographer, was one of the trio of BDSM enthusiasts who exploited a girl between Jan. 1, 2000 and Dec. 31, 2006. The girl was 11 in 2000.

Galloway, who’ll turn 59 next month, pleaded not guilty to the sexual assault charge. He’s the last man to face trial.

When Toronto Police busted him in January 2017 at his London, home, and apprised him of the allegations, he replied, “I beg your pardon? That’s preposterous.

“I’m not prepared to answer these questions,” he told police. Earlier, he said he “joined the BDSM lifestyle to a degree, a couple of parties.”

This tepid acceptance of BDSM is contradicted by his online postings in which he extolls the virtues of his lifestyle in 2003.
