“We are soldiers of an unpopular war, and no one wants to see us on parade. We remind them of something that makes them uncomfortable. We’re like burn victims, except people either made us or hate us, not the person who poured gasoline on us and lit the match.”
EASTON, SALTZMAN AND WILLIS, 2014

Anna
Anna is recovering. “I was so manipulated. I wasn’t myself. I lost myself.” She doesn’t want to go into further details. The court process was traumatic. Anna was in the witness box for four days, three of them under cross-examination. Her friends and her parents also gave evidence about what they had seen and heard of her boyfriend’s behaviour, and its impact on her.
Peter Fox
Former Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox is a 36-year veteran of the NSW Police Force, during which time he investigated countless child sexual abuse cases in the Hunter Region of New South Wales. In November 2012, Peter Fox put his job on the line and went public with claims of systemic cover-up of institutional child abuse. His voice helped prompt the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse. As a whistle-blower, Peter has made many enemies and many have tried to discredit him. However, the victims and their families are strong in their support of the man who was always there for them, and who helped give them a voice. Peter continues to fight for victims and speak out against those who took advantage of their power to target and silence victims of abuse.
