When Laws Do More Harm Than Good (in child sexual abuse cases)

Since Richard Huckle made headlines last year, the discussion surrounding child sexual predators and crimes have been in the forefront of news.

To understand why, we look into the steps and processes behind lodging a child sexual abuse case, and what flaws present themselves along the way, and how we should go about fixing them.
