Perverted Bay City Rollers boss Tam Paton told the band to have sex with a paedophile DJ so he would 'do more for them', a former member has claimed. 

The group’s original singer Gordon “Nobby” Clark said predator Paton encouraged the boys to sleep with DJ Chris Denning while he was their promotions boss in 1971. 

The band stayed with Denning, who was jailed for 13 years last week for child sex abuse, at his mansion in Surrey and 'slept with one eye open'.

Boss Paton told the band, starring Gordon, Derek and Alan Longmuir, Neil Henderson and Archie Marr at the time: “Chris would probably do more for us if one of us slept with him”.

Interviewed by Simon Spence for his book The Dark History of the Bay City Rollers, Clark said the vile comment was purposely said in front of Denning. 

He added: “I don’t know what else happened that night but Alan and I slept on the floor with one eye open. I was beginning to see Tam in a completely different light. I felt we were becoming pawns in his game.

“Around that period I had my doubts about whether I wanted to continue with it.”

Archie also said he saw a big tub of KY jelly in placed in Chris Denning's kitchen. 

He said: “I said to Nobby, ‘what the f*** has he got that in the kitchen for?’ I dare say conversations between Tam and Denning would be Chris saying to Tam, ‘have you nobbled any of them yet?’ But Denning never made a pass at me.”

Roller Pat McGlynn, who joined the band in 1976, told of how paedophile Chris would come up from London to attend Paton’s Edinburgh mansion for parties.

He told the Daily Record: “They would use sleeping tablets to spike kids’ drinks.

“Chris Denning was always there. He would come up from London especially.

“Whenever he saw a kid who was in a bad way from the sleeping tablets he’d be straight across.

“Then he’d drag them into one of the bedrooms.”

In 1982 Paton served a year in jail after being convicted of gross indecency with teenage boys.

In 2009, McKeown said Paton had raped him.

Paton died of a suspected heart attack in 2009.
