Edan van Haren is one of bravest young men you’re ever likely to meet… He's a survivor of child sexual abuse, one of many to be preyed upon by convicted paedophile, Maurice Van Ryn. Ashamed and confused, Edan internalised the horrendous trauma and didn’t tell a soul for seven years, with the unimaginable pain manifesting in uncontrollable anger and deep depression. When he was 21, he found the courage to tell his family what he endured. Now 27, spent years in court fighting for compensation he deserves and standing up for the rights of all child sexual abuse survivors. *TRIGGER WARNING* This is an extremely heavy episode. If you or someone you know have been sexually assaulted, you can call 1800 RESPECT for support. Or call Lifeline on 13 11 14.
