This is even worse that we thought.
The man who started that petition to harass Arvol, who is now harassing Arvol's family and friends and sending out emails urging Rainbows to violate the boundaries of the Native leaders who have said NO to them, is
a convicted rapist who found his victim at... the Rainbow Gathering. "Denton first met his victim in 1996 at the Rainbow Gathering in France, when she was 19 and Denton, also known as Robin, was 33."

Wembley preacher jailed for week of rape

A "REMORSELESS" Wembley preacher who raped a woman on seven consecutive days was jailed on Friday.
Paul Robin Denton, 46, of Barnhill Road, was jailed for 12 years after repeatedly abusing his 32-year-old victim in October 2007.He was found guilty after a trial at Inner London Crown Court when jurors heard how the religious fanatic put the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, through “hell on earth”.
She told the court Denton believed women should be submissive “because the scripture says so”.
When she challenged his views, Denton, who changed his name to Lord Denton, repeatedly punched her in the face, head-butted her, pulled out her hair, and raped her “day after day” as a punishment.
Detective Constable Jon Wedger said: “The level of abuse and the time period it has been spread over has had an overwhelming impact on the victim.
Denton has shown no remorse for his actions, even making her go through the ordeal of the trial.
“I hope knowing he has been held accountable for his actions will go someway to helping his victim come to terms with what has happened and allow her to move forward with her life.
“She has shown incredible bravery throughout the criminal proceedings and I hope that strength continues as she rebuilds her life.”
He was arrested in February 2008 but
while on bail he sneaked into his victim's house and stole her hat.
He then sent it back to her in an effort to intimidate her.Denton, who committed the crimes in Daventry, but later moved to Wembley, was born in Croydon and moved to South Africa with his parents when aged eight months old.
He claims he was kidnapped by his father after his parents split up and told the court he was forced to leave the country after being part of an anti-apartheid group.
He was
found guilty of seven counts of rape, four of assault and one of witness intimidation.

Woman raped for week by 'saviour'
16:59 Monday 19 October 2009
A PREACHER who described himself as the Messiah and raped a young woman on seven consecutive nights faces years behind bars.
Paul Denton, 46, changed his name to Lord Denton by deed poll and claimed he was sent by God to save the people of Daventry.
But his victim told how he ordered her to submit to him as he quoted verses from scripture.
He described her allegations as “lies from the depths of hell” but was convicted after a three-week trial at Inner London Crown Court.
As the guilty verdicts were read out, Denton repeatedly asked for the opportunity to address the jury.
But this was denied by Judge Mervyn Roberts, who has postponed sentencing until December.
As he was led to the cells, he shouted: “Hallelujah, Jesus Christ is Lord, read Matthew 24.”
Denton first met his victim in 1996 at the Rainbow Gathering in France, when she was 19 and Denton, also known as Robin, was 33.
She said: “He told me he had lots of experience with prostitutes. When he was 15 his father bought him a prostitute for a present.”
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said he also believed the fairer sex should be submissive “because the scripture says”.
The 32-year-old, from Croydon, said: “He said I had to submit to him and to the Lord, he was quoting scriptures from the Bible. It got very violent.
“He was screaming in my face I’m a disobedient, evil woman and I have to submit to him.”
During one incident he headbutted her in the face and in another he pulled her down the stairs by her hair and throttled her.
After another attack Denton went to Russia for a month to customise an airship to spread the word of God.
Denton, now of Wembley, had allowed local children to use a bus outside his house as a playground. Judge Roberts said it was essential he had a pre-sentence report prior to sentencing him in December.
He said: “I’ll also need a report from a psychologist. I don’t mean to say you’re mentally ill. For you to be sentenced, all my sentencing options need to remain open.’
Denton, formerly of Hood Road, Daventry, and of Holcot, is thought to have regularly travelled around Africa and Eastern Europe as a Christian missionary.
He was
found guilty of four actual bodily harm assaults, seven rapes and witness intimidation. He was cleared of indecently assaulting a child.In even worse news, the initial convictions have been overturned and he is out of jail while the courts attempt to organize a retrial. He is using this time out of jail to organize more Rainbow Gatherings. And to bully and stalk NDNs.
