As a police officer who investigated sex crimes, Graeme Simpfendorfer was accustomed to helping victims on what might be the worst day of their life. He found meaning in tracking down the criminals who’d hurt them. But then came the day when he realised that he, too, was an alleged victim. The former detective sergeant – who appeared on the reality television show Hunted – talks about what happened when he decided to report his alleged abuse to police. And what it was like to experience the justice system from the other side. Today’s episode is hosted by Samantha Selinger-Morris. And a warning, this episode contains descriptions of alleged sexual abuse.
