The woman whose courage will save other women | Sophie Brown

This is deeply personal, for both women in this conversation.  In 2023, brothers Danny & Roberto Jaz were jailed for offences including drink spiking, sexual violation and rape centred around Christchurch bar Mama Hooch. In 1998, the year Sophie Brown was born, host Amanda Millar exposed a sordid and perverse serial abuser in Christchurch who used power, access and status to abuse his victims. Why has nothing changed? Nine of the many women attacked at Mama Hooch gave evidence in court. One chose to go public. Sophie Brown shares her inspiring story of how she’s choosing to live her life after the sexual assault that changed her life forever. Listeners should be aware that the events and themes that have led to this podcast are distressing, however in this conversation there is no detailed account of those events.
