    Episode 4: The Helpline

    Warning: This episode contains content related to child sex abuse. Listen with care.  The seizure of a video from a New Zealand paedophile sparks a dizzying chain of events in faraway Arizona: an arrest, a suicide – and revelations that a serial child rapist had confessed to his Mormon bishop, and the church had used its “Abuse Helpline” to cover it up.
