Perverted Justice w/ Shielagh Clark

In this episode, host Andrew Pledger speaks with Shielagh Clark, a survivor of abuse tied to Bob Jones University and an affiliated church. Shielagh shares her harrowing journey of abuse beginning at age 15, and how she was failed by both the school and her church community. She details her involvement with the Grace Report, the challenges she faced in seeking justice through both criminal and civil courts, and the emotional toll it took on her. Despite numerous setbacks, she found healing and empowerment by speaking out, ultimately launching her own podcast, 'Perverted Justice,' to continue shedding light on abuse and the legal system.Listen to Perverted JusticeApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/perverted-justice/id1779806281Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/74QkJScAlSTxncLKCsyxN6?si=c8WSRQvIQcCl9rIn9eQsbA00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview01:11 Guest Introduction: Sheila Clark01:37 Sheila's Story: Abuse and Bob Jones University02:44 The Grace Report and Seeking Validation08:49 Confronting the Past: Church and Legal Battles20:25 Legal Proceedings and Challenges38:52 Reflections and Healing Journey46:45 Conclusion and Podcast OutroAndrew's LinksJOIN MY PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/4ndrewpledgerFacebook Discussion Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1153866318625322/My Substack: https://speakingupandrewpledger.substack.com/Linktree: https://andrewpledger.mypixieset.com/links-Music: https://www.purple-planet.com*Some audio is regenerated by AI because of mispronunciations and/or recording issues Hosted on Acast.
