Ralph Bulger, the grieving father of two-year-old James Bulger, whose 1993 abduction, torture, and murder by ten-year-olds Robert Thompson and Jon Venables seared Britain’s soul, has unleashed “shocking unpublished documents” that claim the killers not only beat his son but sexually assaulted him, with three AA batteries found at the scene as haunting proof. On September 28, 2025, Ralph, 55, appeared on This Morning, voice trembling with rage: “Those monsters abused my son – they didn’t just beat him, they violated him!” The files, obtained via a 2024 Freedom of Information request from the 1993 Merseyside Police probe, were suppressed under the Mary Bell Order protecting the killers’ anonymity. They detail “batteries inserted into his anus,” causing “severe internal injuries” consistent with sexual abuse, a truth “buried to protect the trial,” Ralph told Holly Willoughby, tears streaming as he clutched a photo of James. #BulgerTruth trends with 5.2 million posts, fans crying “Justice now!” as the “horrific” revelation reignites a 30-year wound.

The evidence’s weight? Wrenching: On February 12, 1993, Thompson and Venables lured James from Bootle’s Strand Shopping Centre, leading him 4km to Walton’s railway embankment for a 38-minute ordeal—42 wounds from bricks, an iron bar, and the “ghastly” batteries. The coroner’s report, leaked in 2019, noted “sexual abuse” signs, but the trial—Britain’s youngest killers, sentenced to eight years, released 2001—focused on manslaughter to “spare trauma.” “They violated my boy,” Ralph raged, the “three batteries” a chilling emblem of cruelty, “jammed” during autopsy. Denise Fergus, James’s mother, backed him in The Mirror: “The full evil must be known.” The “solid proof”? A suppressed witness statement of “disturbed behavior” and forensic notes, now public, shattering the “just kids” narrative.

The “buried truth”? Brutal: Police initially chased a “family frame” (Patsy’s handwriting on a ransom note?), dismissing “outside involvement” to shield the boys, per Ralph’s files. Venables, recalled thrice for child porn (2010, 2013, 2017; 2023 parole denied for “danger to children”), and Thompson’s “art therapy” (2013, taxpayer-funded) fuel Ralph’s fury: “They get new lives—James gets none.” The Parole Board’s secrecy? A spark for demands to “name them.” Merseyside Police’s “monitoring” vow feels hollow against Ralph’s “police arrogance” jab.
