Episode 110 - Nice Doesn't Always Mean Good - With Josh Byrnes - Part 1 Reclaim Me

Josh is an institutional child sex abuse survivor. His abuser was a revered and must respected Catholic Church priest. He was also Josh’s second cousin. Over an 8 year period Fr Dennis Byrnes made Josh feel like he was so loved, but there was a dark side.
This is a story of a man who had spent a lifetime grooming Josh, his family and parishioners into believing he was a man of faith and good character. If only people knew evil that was hidden behind a smile and the frocks of the faith…this is Josh’s truth.
This is Part 1 in a multi part series where we will deep dive into Josh's story. Josh also supports the #yourreferenceaintrelevant campaign which is now seeking signatures in the ACT. For all ACT residents please follow this link and sign the petition to end good character references for convicted child sex offenders.
