Richards divorced, after revelations in 1996 of an extra-marital affair.
Rod Richards.
Richards had problems with alcohol.
In 1999, Richards was charged with inflicting grievous bodily harm on a young woman.
Richards was cleared of the assault in June 2000.
In 2003, Richards was declared bankrupt.
It was reported in 2008 that Richards was arrested in connection with an assault on a Conservative party worker.
He was later released after receiving a caution from police.
In 2012, Rod Richards announced that he had seen evidence linking Margaret Thatcher's aide Sir Peter Morrison to the North Wales children’s homes case, in which up to 650 children in 40 homes were sexually abused over 20 years.
Rod Richards also linked a second leading Conservative – now dead – to the scandals at homes including Bryn Estyn and Bryn Alyn Hall, both near Wrexham.
Rod Richards wrote:
"Gays who aspire to Westminster are so fearful of questions about their sexuality that they take a woman along with them to the selection process.
"The young lady is sometimes introduced as 'my girlfriend since childhood'. Another ruse is to say 'we are about to get engaged'.
"Frequently the young lady who was introduced to the local Conservative association members as a charity worker who enjoys home cooking and would like a large family is never seen again.
"Occasionally, the deception is complete. The candidate and his girlfriend get married.
"'Arranged' marriages allow the new undeclared gay MP to live his life as he is sexually inclined to do whilst his 'charming and devoted wife' does her 'own thing' with whomsoever she pleases provided the watchword is discretion. Local party members grow to love her because she is always around for coffee mornings and tombolas."
Two thirds of Scots children experience adverse childhood experiences such as domestic violence or parental drug misuse.

"Traumatic events are experienced by two thirds of children in Scotland before the age of eight, according to researchers at the University of Edinburgh.
"Growing evidence shows that ACEs influence brain development and have a long-term impact on lifetime health, wellbeing and outcomes."

Parents undergoing mental health problems or relationship break-ups were the most common, each affecting around one-third of children.
Almost one quarter of children had experienced frequent physical punishment.
One in five felt unloved or emotionally neglected.
Some 14 per cent had been exposed to parental drug or alcohol misuse, while one in 10 had been exposed to domestic violence.

At this point, a Mossad double, perhaps a Moroccan Jew, may have stepped in.
A Turkish woman has said of the family of Abdelhamid Abaaoud: 'The family weren’t religious at all.' a Turkish woman tasked with keeping an eye on their now-empty house told me yesterday.
According to a friend, the young Abdelhamid Abaaoud, would smoke cannabis liberally and drink whatever alcohol could be found.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud attendedone of the most exclusive colleges in Brussels, Saint-Pierre College, but he was expelled.
A former classmate says: 'He was a little jerk.'
He bullied classmates and teachers and was found with stolen wallets.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud's father set him up in a clothes shop, near his own.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud bought an Audi A4.
Like the reportedly gay King of Morocco, Abdelhamid Abaaoud loved Brussels' bars and nightclubs.
No one can remember him having a serious girlfriend.
Among his friends were the brothers Salah and Ibrahim Abdeslam.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud was sent to jail.
A Turkish neighbour says of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, after hecame out of prison: "I could hardly recognise the Abdelhamid I knew all his life.
"He had been smart and clean-shaven, but he came out with a beard and long hair, and he had exchanged his jeans for traditional Arab Muslim robes.
"Before, he was always laughing and joking. But he hardly smiled and spoke very quietly and seriously."
David Headley, who planned the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, worked for the US Drugs Enforcement Administration and he told a close friend that he also worked for the CIA.
According to Newsweek, "Terrorists in the September 11 attacks received training at secure US military bases, a Defense Department spokesman admitted in an interview."
3 days after the WTC disaster, Newsweek and the Washington Post reported that 3 of the hijackers had listed their address as theNaval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida.
Many members of the Western elite travel to Morocco to find boys.
According to Scallywag magazine, "As far as Westminster is concerned, (Morocco's) the Gazelle D'or was first 'discovered' by the notorious gay MP Sir Charles Irving who died from aids in 1993.
"Irving, who chaired the Commons catering Committee, was famous for his private parties in the Pugin room in Westminster ... Many of the 100-plus gay Tory MP's ... were fellow guests........
"The REAL attraction of the Gazelle D'or is not just the exclusivity, or the fabulous luxury. It is, quite simply, that they boast one of the most superlative men-only Turkish baths, Sauna and Massage Parlour in the world, manned by hand-picked and specially trained swarthy Berbers who are most willing to accommodate every whim of their customers. The whole concept of the place is designed to be a veritable paradise for gays."
Salah Abdeslam or a Mossad double?
"During a street side news report by the notorious Sky News (see: Scrutiny of the Tunisia “terror’ Attack) after the Paris attacks, a dead ringer for the alleged terrorist and subject of a 'massive manhunt' Abdeslam Ben Salah casually strolls in front of the camera and gives us a little smirk."
His accomplice at the time was Abdelhamid Abaaoud (Abou Omar el-Belgiki), now suspected of being the 'mastermind' of the Friday 13th attack in Paris.
Salah's friend Nabil told reuters that Salah Abdeslam and his brother Ibrahim were "regular guys who enjoyed a laugh."
Salah's friend Hicham said that the brothers played cards and talked about football, but "never Islam or anything jihadist."
Salah
Neighbor Sheraz Sheik said of Salah: "He was a really nice guy.
"He was really well dressed, wearing designer clothes, no beard. A really smart guy, he'd gone to school and was really intelligent.”
The brothers opened a bar in their hometown two years ago, called the Cafe Des Beguines – named after a Christian monastic order – which served alcohol.
Ibrahim Abdeslam would openly drink alcohol, contrary to Islamic rules.
At this point, a Mossad double, perhaps a Moroccan Jew, may have stepped in.
