After three decades, Peter Ellis survivor breaks her silence

In June 1993, Peter Ellis was convicted of 16 charges involving the sexual abuse of seven children. 

But, despite his death in 2019, the case has not settled, as his supporters and legal team have successfully applied to hear the case again. 
 
Now, one of the survivors has spoken out for the first time, and is sharing her version of what happened to her all those years ago.   

Today, freelance journalist Jo Malcolm joins Damien to discuss the significance of this victim breaking her silence three decades later.
