The Wife has to deal with the consequences of his arrest. The Detective is a kind and competent man overwhelmed by what he has to deal with. The Daughter is traumatised by her father being revealed as a sex offender. The Mother realises her child’s abuse has been filmed for the entertainment of others. The author has worked in the field of sexual abuse for thirty-five years.
