Episode 112 - Thomas Earle is a Rapist - With Emily Campbell-Ross - Part 1

<description>&lt;p&gt;Josh is an institutional child sex abuse survivor. His abuser was a revered and must respected Catholic Church priest. He was also Josh’s second cousin. Over an 8 year period Fr Dennis Byrnes made Josh feel like he was so loved, but there was a dark side.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is a story of a man who had spent a lifetime grooming Josh, his family and parishioners into believing he was a man of faith and good character. If only people knew evil that was hidden behind a smile and the frocks of the faith…this is Josh’s truth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is Part 2 in a multi part series where we will deep dive into Josh's story.

Joshua Byrnes was groomed and abused by a local Catholic parish priest from the age of 12. He was a nice man. But nice doesn't always mean good.

Josh is an institutional child sex abuse survivor. His abuser was a revered and must respected Catholic Church priest. He was also Josh’s second cousin. Over an 8 year period Fr Dennis Byrnes made Josh feel like he was so loved, but there was a dark side. This is a story of a man who had spent a lifetime grooming Josh, his family and parishioners into believing he was a man of faith and good character. If only people knew evil that was hidden behind a smile and the frocks of the faith…this is Josh’s truth. This is Part 2 in a multi part series where we will deep dive into Josh's story.
