Shortcut: Unfinished Business - a survivor defies the odds of Australia’s Court System (Part 2)

Shortcut: Unfinished Business - a survivor defies the odds of Australia’s Court System (Part 2)

This is a "Shortcut" episode. It’s a shortened version of this week’s more detailed full episode, which is also available on our feed.

This is part two of a two part series with our anonymous guest. If you haven’t yet listened to our previous episode, we highly suggest you go and listen to that one first.

Our guest is a recovering heroin addict, and in our previous episode, we delved into her early childhood years, and the chaos brought into her life at the hands of her mother.

Concurrently to that, however, there was something else happening in her life. She and her younger sister, aged 8 and 6, were being groomed and sexually assaulted by their adult neighbour for almost 5 years.

In fact, this particular part of her story motivated our guest to reach out to us initially, emphasizing the crucial fact that it's never too late to report abuse.
