Welcome to the H.J. Talks About Abuse podcast, where legal experts from Hugh James delve into the challenging topics surrounding sexual abuse. In this episode, Alan Collins, a partner at Hugh James, discusses the ongoing witness appeal for the case of a former teacher, Alan Johnson, who was recently convicted of rape and indecent assaults that occurred decades ago.

The episode highlights the importance of victims and witnesses coming forward, not only to piece together the full story but also to help others in similar situations find the courage to share their experiences. It also draws connections to another case involving teacher Alan Webster, reiterating the devastating long-term impact abuse can have on victims and their families.
