In this episode survivor of child sexual abuse Jarad details his personal experience with surviving ongoing child sexual abuse at the hands of a neighbour in the community. Jarad doesn't go into explicit detail, but we do touch on aspects fo the crimes that occurred during his childhood. Moving on from that we start to discuss the ongoing impacts of CSA that came out of this trauma. The mental health aspect is something we do go into, and the ways in which Jarad has advocated consistently for children and other survivors. Additionally Jarad details later in life, being involved in a family court battle against the man he accused of sexual assault.
