Father’s Day will now have a very different meaning for Matthew Roberts. Adopted as a 10-year-old and raised in Illinois, he set out 12 years ago to learn about his birth mother with the assistance of an investigator. His birth mother told him that she had been raped and that Charles Manson was his father. “It was like finding out your father is Hitler,” Matthew Roberts told The Sun newspaper.
A year after Roberts’ birth in 1968, Manson and his ‘Family’ of followers committed nine murders in Los Angeles over five weeks, including the stabbing of pregnant actress Sharon Tate. She was the wife of film director Roman Polanski.
“I’m a peaceful person – trapped in the face of a monster,” Roberts said. “My hero is Gandhi. I’m an extremely non-violent, peaceful person and a vegetarian. I don’t even kill bugs.”
The truth of Roberts’ birth unfolded gradually as he and his mother began to write each other. At first she refused to pass on details, but ultimately she revealed that she had been captivated by Manson and joined his cult in San Francisco. Roberts has since been in contact with his father, 75, who is serving a life sentence in California’s Corcoran State Prison. Manson has confirmed that he is Roberts’ father and has sent rambling handwritten notes and postcards signed with a swastika – the same symbol he has tattooed on his forehead.
“He sends me weird stuff and always signs it with his swastika,” Roberts said. “At first I was stunned and depressed. I wasn’t able to speak for a day. I remember not being able to eat.”
Roberts added: “He’s my biological father – I can’t help but have some kind of emotional connection. That’s the hardest thing of all – feeling love for a monster who raped my mother. I don’t want to love him, but I don’t want to hate him either.”
he looks like the love child of vinnie paul and iceT. no offense, im sure he would prefer if that were true instead.
