We also dig into the institutional failures that allowed this to continue for years — including what happened when Andy tried to tell the truth publicly, and the aftermath of going up against powerful organisations.This is a difficult but vital conversation about child safeguarding, grming tactics, institutional cover-ups, and what happens to survivors when the system claims to care — but doesn’t.In this conversation:- How grming works (and how adults get manipulated too)- Why some offenders operate “in plain sight- The cost of speaking out — professionally and psychologically- Media, institutions, and the pressure to stay silent- What needs to change to protect children and support survivorsIf you enjoyed this, follow Heretics and share the episode.Join the 30k heretics on my mailing list: https://andrewgoldheretics.com Check out my new documentary channel: https://youtube.com/@andrewgoldinvestigates Andrew on X: https://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok  Insta: https://www.instagram.com/andrewgold_okHeretics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@andrewgoldhereticsChapters:#heretics #savile #truecrime Learn more about your ad choices.
