Biography

Jeremy met his first wife, Fiona, in 1966 when he was 18 and she was 14 years old. By the time they married in 1967, she had already given birth to two of the 8 children they would have together.

Spencer joined the band, Fleetwood Mac, in 1967, and soon became an integral part of the group, excelling at the slide guitar, among other instruments. By 1971 he grew disillusioned with his life and while the band prepared for a gig in Los Angeles, Spencer disappeared, forcing the cancellation of a major concert. When he turned up some days later, it was learned that he had joined a religious group, some would call it a 'cult,' called the Children of God. He remains with the group even today (2014) although they have changed their name to The Family International and have attracted some unwanted attention due to many of their retired beliefs related to sex with minors and family members.

Jeremy Spencer left Fleetwood Mac in 1971 to join The Children of God (now known as The Family International), a cult founded by pedophile David Berg that was responsible for widespread and systematic abuse of thousands of its children. Jeremy Spencer played a central part in this abusive cult for decades and the fact that he has sexually assaulted children and participated in the production and distribution of child pornography has been well documented.

In published statements, books, sworn affidavits, and court testimony (in legal cases in the United Kingdom and Argentina), a number of people, including one of his own children, have publicly accused Jeremy Spencer of sexually assaulting them when they were children.

In 1995 during a child custody case in the United Kingdom, Lord Justice Ward noted that Jeremy Spencer sexually abused his own daughter and the granddaughter of cult founder David Berg while at the Music with Meaning commune, which Justice Ward described as a "particularly corrupt and corrupting organisation" that Spencer "played a central part in."

While at Music with Meaning, Spencer also participated in the production and distribution of pornographic videos created for and distributed to David Berg and other members of the cult. Many of the videos also included sexual performances by young children. In one video tape, Spencer appears on camera having sexual intercourse, while in another scene, his own daughter appears performing a strip-tease dance distributed for the gratification of the group's adult members.
