People who still hold positions of power protected him. They are still protecting others. Through episodes published in 2020 and 2021 you'll hear from childhood sexual assault survivors sharing their stories for the first time, and know that there are countless others waiting to be heard. Through 2024, our investigation continues.....

At work he was "Just Jim", but he was he hiding something?

We also hear about a newly-announced Independent Investigation on the actions of James Griffin at Launceston General Hospital, launched by the Tasmanian Government.

Jim Griffin didn't spend all his time as a children's nurse on ward 4K. He also worked at Ashley Youth Detention Centre, a place characterised as "the perfect setting to prey on vulnerable kids." Let's go inside.

An independent Inquiry has been announced into the matter of James Griffin and his alleged abuses at Launceston General Hospital. But some say it doesn't go far enough - we need a Royal Commission.

We then go back in history, for clues as to what may happen next.

Jim Griffin worked as a maintenance officer at the University of Tasmania for around a decade in the 80s and 90s. So why is that relevant now?

And what does it mean for those who were on the campus when he had the keys?
