THE MALE SEX ABUSE SURVIVOR / SHOW NOTES

Nathan was an 8 year old boy when he was sexually assaulted by a grown man. His story is one of abuse and betrayal. He shares it with courage and in detail. It's not suitable for little ears.

Nathan's story is extremely confronting. For this reason we have chosen to censor parts of it. The full unedited interview is available to subscribers on Apple Podcasts or Acast +.

Content warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of child sexual assault, drug abuse and depression. Resources are listed below. 

For more of Nathan's story read his book Toy Cars: A Memoir.
