Show notes

On the 6th of December, 2009, when Susan Cox Powell disappeared while her husband Josh Powell was away on a “spontaneous camping trip”, their community was sent reeling.

Larry Nassar: USA Gymnastics Abuse | #263 Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

In the gruelling world of elite gymnastics, Larry Nassar was seen by a lot of young athletes as a friendly face in tough times. But the USA Gymnastics National Medical Coordinator sexually abused hundreds of girls as young as ten, under the guise of treatments, for almost 30 years – often with their parents sitting just metres away.

After multiple investigations, including by his first hunting ground, Michigan State University, he seemed untouchable. But thanks to brave survivor testimony – and the discovery of three external hard drives – the world saw him for what he really was: a calculated predator, with more victims than Bill Cosby, Jerry Sandusky and Harvey Weinstein combined. Hannah and Suruthi chart the biggest sexual abuse scandal in sports history.

The infamous case of three teenagers, who were wrongfully convicted of murdering three children in Arkansas during the height of the 1990s satanic panic, is part Stranger Things, part courtroom drama.

Or more specifically, at three teenagers accused of being in a witches’ coven, and in league with the devil himself...

Richard Huckle: Britain's "Gap Year Paedophile" | #259 Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

Richard Huckle's grooming, exploitation and sexual abuse against some of the world's poorest children were posted on the dark web all to see. From Malaysia, Britain's "Gap Year Paedophile" conducted a nine-year-long, systematic campaign of abuse, authored a how-to-guide for paedophiles, and contributed to one of the largest child sexual abuse networks ever discovered.

Then, in October of 2019, prison officers at HMP Full Sutton in West Yorkshire discovered Huckle's body, after being subjected to 89 minutes of torture and strangled to death by another inmate. This is the story of the incredible officers who brought him down, how online anonymity and safeguarding failures enabled his abuse, and what this case reveals about international child exploitation.

Show notes

Alex Skeel's torture, imprisonment, isolation and starvation at the hands of his girlfriend, Jordan Worth, is one of the UK's worst cases of domestic abuse against a male victim.

Described by the first officer to arrive as “the worst domestic scene” they’d ever witnessed, the brutality of what Alex Skeel endured was shocking. Alex had deep gashes on his arms, burns upon burns, and according to his family, he smelt like he was dead. But his years of isolation and abuse weren’t the work of a kidnapper – they came from the woman he loved.
