Over a 2 year period that started when he had just turned 12 years old, while I was at work for long hours as the sole income earner trying to keep our family afloat financially, my ex-husband was subjecting my son to the most depraved sexual abuse you could imagine almost every single day. And he used whatever means that worked to keep my son silent. My son now struggles with PTSD, depression, anxiety, and even ADHD like symptoms related to the trauma.

My ex-husband had also begun offending against one of my other children by the time he was just 7 years old. He was convicted of one offence and several others are still being dealt with. This predator is still currently walking free with only a slap on the wrist and probation so far for his disgusting crimes.

Believing he’s gotten away with it for so long has made him unbelievably bold. And he’s trying to get access to my younger children through the Family Court despite a no-contact DVO being in place. He wants completely unsupervised overnight time with them where no one could stop him from doing it again.

I can’t afford a lawyer, but also can’t get legal aid because the income thresholds are so unrealistically low. My kids have fallen through the cracks of a system that leaves families bankrupt and completely traumatised.

I’ve found an amazing service that can support me in fighting this on my own for a fraction of the cost of lawyers, but it will still take thousands, possibly tens of thousands of dollars to fight this evil man because he won’t stop trying. I pray constantly that the law catches up with him and he ends up in prison. But our system is so broken. Police have told me that even if he does, it might not be for years, and I have no faith that he will.

What little family I have don’t have the means to help. I’ve spent my savings on fighting him for two and a half years already, as well as medical and mental health bills for the kids and me.

So I’m desperately going to need the community. I need you. Anything you can give will help to pay these legal and medical costs that could otherwise eventually leave us homeless.

Please, please help me to do everything I possibly can to keep my kids out of this monster’s hands and ensure he never has another chance to hurt them.
