Great job handling such a difficult subject. It is clear that these parents did not get fair representation during the trial. It is also terrible that this woman has to live her life believing these things happened to her because her psychiatrist mistreated her. I hope this podcast can result in her getting better help as well as bring justice to her parents and other siblings.

If you’ve ever wondered how a girl that’s “REALLY good at sports” can possibly be a victim of sexual abuse, how parents who appear “super confused” when accused of abusing their children, can possibly be abusers, and you want to spend ~ 8 hours listening to a heavily biased, middle aged man (who has made a career out of disproving the validity of “dissociative personality disorder”. A disorder he apparently defines as “needing therapy to process childhood trauma”), pretend that defending pedophiles and victim blaming r@pe survivors, is “””investigative journalism”””, then this pod is for you!

A mystery that just keeps twisting and turning. Journalist Richard Guilliatt - the reporter who exposed cancer fraudster Belle Gibson - investigates a confounding case, and a family torn apart.
