The predatory music teacher who was brought to justice

In Episode 380 of Australian True Crime, we spoke to Anna, one of four women whose evidence convicted former South Australian teacher Trenton John Wickers of indecent assault of children and unlawful sexual intercourse with a child in the 1990s.

In November of 2018, Judge Simon Stretton characterised Wickers as a serious repeat offender and sentenced him to ten years jail with a non-parole period of eight years.

As the end of that minimum jail period draws near, one of the other three women who helped convict Wickers, Jane, joins us today on Australian True Crime to talk publicly for the first time. She's passionate about the importance of speaking out about historical sexual assault.

As she puts it, many voices can bring about change, and this is her story.
