This is Jane’s story about her experience of what she believed as a teenager to be a loving relationship in an Auckland church community during the 1990s. It was a sexual relationship with a man who was not only ten years her senior, but also her youth group leader. Now, 30 years on and with help from award-winning author and podcast producer Noelle McCarthy, Jane is trying to connect the dots bet... more

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR OPENNESS AND HONESTY

JANE YOU AS TRULY ONE AMAZING BEAUTIFUL ENCOURAGING PERSON
I SINCERELY FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THANK YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROJECT 💖
How is is how is it that we have to live our lives with such guilt and they get away with it? I really love the way. This podcast was done such a beautiful caring, empathetic interviewer, not trying to bring up trauma but trying to help. They really need to have more empathetic interviewers that do really seem to care about the story and the person in the story.
This family is either in complete denial or were criminally naive to allow a 14 year old girl to be in a relationship with an adult man 11 years older. I’m the same age as Jane and this would never have been acceptable then, nor is it now. Dan is a predator, protected by the church - one of many, many adult men who stole the childhoods of girls, hiding in plain sight behind the bible.
How very brave to share your story. I found myself crying through many parts of the story, as it made me realise it too wasn’t my fault. I found listening almost freeing and that I have been able to let go of some of the things such as blame and embarrassment I was holding on to.
