Father who abused daughter now identifying as a woman

In this week’s episode, the abuse team discuss a young woman’s experience of discovering her father, who sexually abused her, is being released from prison and now identifying as a woman.

24 year old Ceri-Lee Galvin was abused for nine years from the age of eight by her father, Clive Bundy. Bundy was jailed for 15 years in 2016 but is now due for parole. She discovered that her father had transitioned and was now identifying as a woman. In a brave move, she has decided to forgo her anonymity as a survivor of sexual abuse, in order to raise awareness about a “legal loophole” that may allow sex offenders, like her father, to conceal their past by adopting a new gender identity.

The podcast delves into the legal and ethical implications of gender transition in cases of sexual abuse, as well as the emotional impact on survivors of abuse. They discuss the complexities of the case and offer insights into how the legal system can better support survivors.
