Surviving Sexual Assault. Tales - Trials - Transformation


DON'T MISS MONDAY
NIGHT ON HIDE & SEEK

Melbourne’s GLBTI radio station, JOY 94.9, will feature a special edition of it’s “Adults Only” program HIDE & SEEK, this Monday 19 October. From 11pm, Surviving Sexual Assault; tales, trials and transformation, will explore legal and personal accounts of Australia’s darkest secret.


Hosted by Dean Beck and James Findlay, the duo will be joined by an expert line-up of law makers, community leaders, psychologists and one very special man who will share his story of survival.

“Sadly 38% of girls and 9% of boys will be sexually assaulted before they turn 18 and at least one home in every ten involves incest. These figures are simply horrific and only exacerbated by more than 500 Australian Clergy already charged with paedophilia!” explained Hide & Seek’s host Dean Beck.

“Both James and myself are honoured and very pleased to be presenting this special edition of Hide & Seek on Sexual Assault, as part of JOY 94.9's commitment to Community Safety Month,” said Dean.
