Jeremy Spencer, early 2000s
Jeremy Spencer, circa 1970

Jeremy Spencer (British; aliases used include Jonadab and Jonathan, though he now goes by Jeremy again) was born in West Hartlepool, England on July 4th, 1948. Spencer was one of Fleetwood Mac's early guitarists, joining the band in 1967. His specialty was the slide guitar and was strongly influenced by blues musician Elmore James. He remained with the band until 1971 when he joined the Children of God, upon which he renounced his possessions and shaved his head.

He remains with The Family International (as the group is now called) to this day, participating in missionary activities, doing studio recordings for the group throughout Asia and South America (mainly Brazil), and illustrating Family publications for children.

He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for his work as part of Fleetwood Mac.

Spencer toured India with other Family performers in 1995, 1998 and 2000. Some of Spencer's children (with his former wife, Fiona) have formed a band in England called JYNXT. The band members are Nat, Koa, Tally and Rick Spencer.

Court documents concerning child abuse

Following are excerpts from the Judgment of Lord Justice Ward, from a child-custody case involving The Family in England, 1995.

THE ORAL EVIDENCE OF CHILD / ADULT ABUSE

8. MS. Her father is Jeremy S. [Jeremy Spencer] of Music with Meaning. Her mother is Dawn, a European Shepherd. [...] She said in her affidavit:

"From my earliest memories until my time in India, sexual activity pervaded The Family. Instances that stand out in my mind are as follows:-
"My mother and my father frequently had sexual intercourse and performed oral sex with each other and with other people in the same room as us children, regardless of whether we were awake or asleep. I distinctly remember my father having sexual intercourse with Faithy Berg when we lived in a caravan in Greece. I was around four years old at the time."

At the age of 6 she had to use both hands to masturbate Timothy in his 20's or 30's, ex-Vietnam veteran. At the same age she had to "help her father [Jeremy Spencer] out" which meant caressing him and mutual masturbation. From the age of 7 her step father made her masturbate him. She later told Mary Malay about her step father but not about her father because she liked him: "at least," she said, "he did not beat me".

THE LEADERS' INVOLVEMENT IN SEXUAL ABUSE

8. Jeremy S. [Jeremy Spencer]

His own daughter with understandable reluctance complained that he abused her as I find he did. He also abused MB. Music with Meaning was a particularly corrupt and corrupting organisation. He played a central part in it.
