The sister of the paedophile freed despite attacking 13 boys spoke yesterday of her revulsion of him. Tina Hughes told of her relief that her two kids had escaped their uncle Michael Porter's evil clutches -but she fears he will now go on to attack other children. The mum-of-two, 40, said: "I don't know him now. I feel the same about him as I would any paedophile. "He's an evil monster with no soul. He's not human. The fact he is flesh and blood is irrelevant to me. To me he is six feet under. Dead."

Jehovah's Witness Porter, 38, was astonishingly let off with just a three-year community rehab order last week despite the
victims of his vile 14-year campaign including an 18-month-old tot. Tina fears it has left other innocent kids at risk
of falling prey to histwisted lusts. She said: "There's no way I'd let my kids near him. Once a paedophile, always a paedophile. He'll never change. "When the sentence was delivered I could tell he was laughing inside. I broke down in tears. I knew the victims, every single one. I was heartbroken for them." The Attorney-General is considering an appeal against his soft sentence.
Porter used his seniority in the Jehovah's Witness church to poseas a normal adult with an innocent devotion to children. He grew close to Tina's son Charlie, now nine, and daughter Emily, 14, but abused neither. His sister, of Clevedon, Somerset, said: "He was respected in the
Jehovah's Witness community. As a teenager he babysat kids. He worshipped Emily but never touched her.
It seems he was only interested in boys. "Thank God he only saw Charlie under my supervision. But I'd never have suspected him because the kids appeared to adore him." Porter, his sister and three siblings grew up in a contented home in Portishead, Somerset, despite a strict Christian upbringing. Their parents even held him up as an example to the others, with
no idea of the monster he would become. Tina, no longer a
Jehovah's Witness, said: "We had a happy childhood.
All five of us were close as the religion would not let us associate with people outside it. "Michael was God-fearing and because of that was the apple of our mum's eye. Our parents said we should follow his example." When Tina later became a single mum, hypocrite Porter claimed she was guilty of a mortal sin and shunned her. She said: "He didn't approve of sex out of wedlock and said I'd condemned my child to death." Yet he molested kids in the religious community, convinced its reclusive nature would keep his secret hidden. Tina added: "
Jehovah's Witnesses are closed to the outside world. Michael knew that by abusing kids in the religion, nothing would be said about it." Porter, of Finchley, North London, admitted 24 charges of gross indecency and indecent assault at Bristol crown court last week. A woman whose husband and son he abused blasted:
"He's allowed to walk the streets even though he's done so much damage to my family. I'm absolutely devastated."
