Episode Details

Bishop Christopher Saunders faces over two dozen sexual assault charges in Western Australia, with shocking courtroom revelations that he allegedly visited a jailed accuser — who was also his only prison visitor — while offering money for calls and cigarettes. The accuser, now in his thirties, has a history of family violence convictions, some overlapping with the alleged assaults between 2008 and 2017, though his memory is clouded by substance abuse. Prosecutors claim Saunders used church funds for booze-fueled parties to lure young Aboriginal men, beginning when the accuser was just sixteen at the bishop’s home. The trial continues as the jury weighs these explosive details.
