MEJ Special Counsel Thomas Wallace-Pannell spoke to the team behind the podcast Badge of Betrayal, which follows the story of former Tasmania Police officer Paul “Beau” Reynolds. 

Content warning: This podcast episode contains discussion of child sexual abuse and institutional failures.

Tom represents a number of victim-survivors of Reynolds’ offending, committed across decades in Tasmania. An independent review in 2024 identified up to 52 boys who were groomed by Reynolds, with some subjected to sexual abuse.

 

You can listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts.
