A man who ran London’s biggest brothel and was planning a murder told the BBC in April how his life was turned around by Jesus Christ.
John Lawson described his former self as a ‘horrible animal’, but an encounter with God transformed him and he now goes into prisons to tell others the gospel.
Speaking to BBC Radio Scotland, Lawson said he had a difficult childhood, became a bouncer and moved to London where he ran the biggest brothel in the capital. He felt like he had ‘made it in life’ – owning a big house and a luxury car. Lawson then got involved in international ‘debt collection’ – kidnapping people who owed money. He now describes his old self as someone who was ‘cold-hearted’ enough to plan a murder.
