Ep 15: Chuck

This episode covers some heavy topics, including pedophilia and suicide. We don’t go into details, but please take care as you listen.

In this final full episode of Season 2, we hear from Chuck, a man who both experienced and caused great suffering. We also hear from his therapist, as we ask ourselves 'how can we keep our community safe from sexual harm'? The answer might not be what we expect.

Transcription here.
