The Beginning of the Betrayal

Senior Sergeant Paul Reynolds was a familiar face in Tasmanian policing a mentor, a coach, a man people trusted. But on a quiet night in Westbury, everything shifted. Just hours after celebrating his wedding anniversary, four officers from Professional Standards knocked on his door with a warrant to seize his devices. The allegation: Reynolds was a pedophile. In this first episode, we unravel the final 24 hours of a highly decorated cop whose name later surfaced in the Weiss Inquiry, the coronial inquest, and the investigation into the death of 15-year-old Eden Westbrook. From whistleblowers to former colleagues who once admired him, the picture that emerges is darker than anyone imagined. This is the moment the cracks appear the night a respected officer became the centre of one of Tasmania’s most disturbing hidden histories. And as we dig, it becomes clear: what looked like the end of the story was only the beginning. if you have information that you would like to share, email us anonymously at podshape@proton.me If you’d like to hear episodes ad-free and early, subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts.

The Pattern Reveals Itself

In this episode, we hear how Paul Reynolds embedded himself inside Launceston’s youth car scene befriending young men, adding them on Facebook, and slowly shifting from friendly banter to explicit messages. Through Mike, a former friend who has never spoken publicly until now, we trace Reynolds’ grooming pattern step-by-step exactly as later exposed in the Weiss Report. As Mike remembers the late-night visits, the boundary-testing conversations, and the uneasy comments dismissed as “just banter,” the episode reveals how a senior police officer managed to present himself as a mate, a mentor, and a hero all while hiding a far darker intent. if you have information that you would like to share, email us anonymously at podshape@proton.me If you’d like to hear episodes ad-free and early, subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts.

An Insider Steps Forward

In this episode, we sit down with “Tom,” a current serving senior Tasmanian police officer who risks his career to speak candidly about the culture inside Taspol. Across a covert, one-off meeting, Tom reveals why allegations of family violence, sexual misconduct, and predatory behavior inside the force are now “at epidemic levels,” and why systems meant to stop offenders like Paul Reynolds failed for decades. He walks us through internal cases never heard publicly, the politics behind the Wies Inquiry, and why he believes the truth about Reynolds and those who protected him still hasn’t fully surfaced. This chapter pulls back the curtain on the hidden pressures, the fear of breaking ranks, and the consequences faced by officers who dare to speak out.

Friends in Dark Places

In this episode, we hear from a current serving Tasmanian police officer a man who spent nearly his entire career working alongside Reynolds. Using a voice actor to protect his identity, he describes Reynolds as he knew him: the outgoing, blokey colleague who could charm a room of young men, the officer who became increasingly absent as he climbed the ranks, and the man whose behaviour now looks disturbingly like grooming hiding in plain sight. He also walks us into the world of Ashley Youth Detention Centre the blind spots, the “cowboy” culture, the friendships between staff and Reynolds, and why he believes it is almost impossible that Reynolds never accessed the centre or its vulnerable boys. Alongside testimony from a whistleblower who worked inside Ashley, this chapter exposes the overlap between policing, youth detention, and community institutions that enabled Reynolds to move freely for decades. It raises the questions no one has been able to answer: who knew what, who looked away, and why so many of Reynolds’ behaviors were minimised or ignored.

The Regulator Speaks

***Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse, grooming, trauma, sexualised behaviour toward minors, and suicide. It may be distressing for some listeners. Please take care while listening. In this episode of Badge of Betrayal, we speak with Tasmania’s Independent Regulator, Louise Coe, about a serious gap in the state’s child safety oversight system. The Office of the Independent Regulator was created to oversee organisations that work with children and young people, including how they respond to allegations of reportable conduct. But in August 2025, Tasmania Police told the regulator they had received legal advice that they were not captured by the scheme meaning they stopped providing key information, including the identities of police officers involved in reportable conduct matters. For eight months, that gap remained. Louise explains why independent oversight matters, why the reporting scheme exists, and why police interactions with vulnerable young people require close scrutiny. She also discusses the importance of backdating the law to cover the period where reporting stopped, and why culture change inside institutions is just as important as technical compliance. Later in the episode, we share part of an anonymous email from another victim of Paul Reynolds. The email includes graphic and deeply distressing details of alleged grooming, emotional manipulation and sexual abuse, and shows how hearing this podcast has helped some people reframe what happened to them.
