Have you ever heard of the Australian cult The Family...?
It was led by a woman named Anne Hamilton-Byrne. How did she control her followers? How did the police eventually catch her? And what happened to the dozens of children that were in the 'care' of The Family.
Lex de Man investigated The Family for more than four years, and helped rescue dozens of children from the abuse of Anne Hamilton-Byrne and her followers.
In this Rewind episode of Crime Insiders | Detectives, Lex de Man walks host Brent Sanders through the case in exclusive detail, and explains how he and the Victorian Police were able to arrest and charge Anne Hamilton-Byrne.
This episode contains references to the abuse of children. If it affected you, the number for LifeLine is 13 11 14.
