Join us for the world premier of the award-winning true crime podcast In Her Defence: Breach of Trust, with a live preview of the new season, behind-the-scenes stories, and exclusive interviews with journalists Jana G. Pruden and Kerry Benjoe about the Regina case that became international news.
It was a single word that led Kerry Benjoe to investigate the true identity of a man she’d been seeing for nearly five years. In doing so, she exposed a shocking web of betrayal and predation, perpetrated by a sergeant within the Regina Police Service and affecting hundreds of vulnerable women.
Despite her fear, Kerry risked it all to hold the veteran police officer accountable and protect other women. But would the system punish one of its own?
In the third season of the highly acclaimed true crime podcast In Her Defence, reporter Jana G. Pruden explores the case of Robert Semenchuck, and the broader issue of police using their vast power and resources to prey on women, many of whom have already been victims of domestic abuse or sexual violence.
Based on more than 50 hours of exclusive interviews with dozens of women, police officers, lawyers and experts, In Her Defence: Breach of Trust reveals serious gaps in the way law enforcement agencies in Canada are policing themselves, and the serious harm women are suffering as a result.
Centring the voices of women who were targeted, the seven-episode series explores what — if anything — police agencies, the courts, and private technologies will do to protect women, and what women are doing to protect themselves — and each other.
