Compelling, compassionate investigative journalism. Beautifully told account of the impact of a dreadful predator, with wrenching stories from the survivors. Highly recommend.

I used to work with survivors of sexual assault. Most never get Justice. Regardless, if these survivors never get to see Gibney go to jail for his crimes, they will at least know that he has been exposed, and on an international level. Their willingness to participate in this project, will...Read full review »

A horrendous turn of events put together in a very easy and interesting podcast to follow. It shows how easily horrible things can happen to anyone and what it takes and doesn’t take to bring the culprits to justice.
Bruce Berrecloth via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/05/23
Just discovered this. Absolutely harrowing to listen to. But everyone should listen. If only the authorities were as brave as the Victims.
Claire WP via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/12/23
It's a deep telling of the story of victims of George Gibney, giving a voice to victims who have been overlooked by years, especially by the judicial system. But whilst it intimates that Irish Swimming was complicit in siding with George, this angle should have been probed more. What lessons...Read full review »

Absolutely heartbreaking! I’ve just finished the episode with ‘Susan’. My granddaughter just this afternoon, won in 2 of her heats and was 2nd in the other. She is 11 and loves swimming. How does one ever prepare one’s children/grandchildren for anything like this. Apart from the usual repeatedly...Read full review »

This podcast regularly gave me goosebumps—it’s that good. There’s just so much at stake here. (And the Irish accents are fab)

Caroline’s account really tore me apart. I’m so sorry for all the victims. They really deserve justice. A very well made podcast.
Wattles and comb via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/07/22
This is a disturbing story I was not familiar with. I give praise to those who carried through with this podcast and gave all of these victims a voice. It is a hard story to here but incredibly important.

Investigative journalism at its best: uncomfortable but important.
Breadman'84 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/01/22
Brilliantly told podcast. Quality as usual from the BBC.
Father_newman via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/19/22
A very important story to tell, though I wish it had been executed better. It’s unclear why so much time was spent following/watching Gibney in Florida yet taking no action, and why this was even included in the final broadcast (mostly seems like filler content, designed to elicit suspense, which...Read full review »

You did an incredible job telling this story.
hollieamberrose via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 04/24/22
Amazing podcast. Well worth a listen. From one brave person opening up to someone who listened and believed them, More people opened up to say that they too had been abused. And there were many! Unbelievable Ireland didn’t do anything and that he got away on a technicality. This monster,...Read full review »

The reporting in this podcast is so compassionate and thorough. It is a truly heartbreaking story though with some light for the victims that can support each other by telling their story and finally be believed. I only hope that this utterly horrid monster is finally brought to justice.

Great work, sensitive handling of a difficult story. George Gibney better get his day in court.
Kāore via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 03/15/22
Absolutely heart wrenching yet beautifully done.
Ryanwolfnz via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 02/27/22
Moving and accurate. Listeners might be interested in podcast Hunting Warhead about the arrest of an internet child abuse ring. one had been a swimming instructor. He talks about the access it gave him to children.
Joseypye via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 02/19/22
Thanks for giving voice to the survivors and for all who care about justice and about keeping children safe from predators like this man. Well done, professional and compassionate podcast done with such sensitivity. And much appreciation to those who shared their story in such a public way.

This is an absolutely amazing piece of journalism. Survivors everywhere are thanking you for the chase for justice. What a podcast - when you were following him in that car I was screaming “get him, get him”, it’s astounding what he has managed to evade. Justice for all Survivors at the abuse...Read full review »

Harrowing in parts and overall just so incredibly sad for those poor children who suffered at the hands of this beast Gibney. But overall a very well told story looking at issues of justice and power, and the lasting impact of abuse and the destruction of lives it causes. My heart goes out to all...Read full review »

Beautifully written and fighting for the people that never received justice. Sickening to think that this man still lives without repercussions.
Emztr via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/04/22
Truly heartbreaking. The people who spoke out on this podcast you must be so proud of how brave you are.
PIPMMK via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/31/22
Like a dog with a bone but a man with a sensitive heart! The detail, dogged determination, moments of humour, nervousness and tenderness! This podcast has touched my heart in so many ways. I can only hope these brave, wonderful people all receive some form of justice for the misery and trauma...Read full review »

Brilliantly told, riveting. Some disturbing revelations. Best outcome would be renewed legal action and for this monster to face justice. So well done guys.
TrueSelf via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/18/22
This is hard to listen to sometimes.After ruining so many promising young lives why is this criminal not yet arrested and charged for his unspeakable crimes? I hope this podcast can help bring justice for his victims, it is long overdue.
Camelot C via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/22
Amazingly but at the same time heartbreaking podcast, credit to the guys for putting in so much effort.

A beautifully put together podcast into the horrors of the sexual abuse of children.

One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. Such a difficult topic but it has been done so well. I didn’t want it to end.

Disgusted in Canada via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/26/21
What a listen! Devastating story told brilliantly and respectfully. I binged it and had to hold back tears at times. Important to share, astonishing how misogynistic views were and in parts still are.
DJ_random via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/05/21
At times a hard listen as to what the survivors of George gibney went through as children and still going through as he walks the streets but wonderfully told and dealt with such respect. Couldn’t stop listening. Bingeworthy
clare-no-hair via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/26/21
Well produced, and delicately handled. It was lovely to hear a story told so well, I think this podcast does justice to honouring the victims of a hideous man.
sprice729 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/12/21
Very interesting case and a nice engaging telling with interviews from victims. Highly recommended!
Filimon1 via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 08/02/21

peanutseller via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/24/21
Thank you for your pursuit of truth and justice; and listening when no one else gave a damn or ever thought it necessary to continue to pursue a sick man who will always remain a threat to any young child anywhere. To those who sheltered him, provided him refuge, and continue to do so —shame on...Read full review »

The podcast was so very well presented and sympathetically told. Just heart breaking to hear how this monster affected so many people . Well done to all involved in telling this story.
Jacx6 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/18/21
A fascinating, heartfelt podcast on an evil person and the many victims he leaves in his wake. We need justice for all the victims. The fact that he is in the United States haunts me that his crimes continue. I hope the Irish government puts priority on the investigation so he can face justice.
Sillycat92 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/28/21
Thank you for making this podcast. My heart goes to all the survivors of this man. Thank you to them for being so brave. Your courage will save future children from being victims in situations like this.

This story needs to be heard by as many people as possible. Very well told and presented and the strength of the victims is unbelievable. Thank you for sharing it.

Thank you Mark Horgan and BBC for this podcast to allow the victims to have a voice! It was heartbreaking to hear, but am glad that many of the victims are now able to help and support each other. I only hope that the CREEP, George Gibney, is finally held accountable for the pain and...Read full review »

I loved episode one and really want to hear this podcast. It won’t load or play on Apple podcasts no matter what I do.
B Donn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/31/21
If the Irish judicial system can’t deal with this. What about “Susan” who was attacked in Florida. Maybe the USA could send him away to a notorious jail for the rest of his life!
Love Sal via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 03/24/21
Episode 6. Susan. Freaking heartbreaking. He needs to be held accountable beyond. Bastard.
