CBC Podcast Features Former Client
“The Banned Teacher” is a new podcast exposing a predator who preyed on female high school students for more than three decades, who was protected by our education system. Hosted by CBC reporter Julie Ireton, this 10- part series follows our former client Anne-Marie Robinson’s pursuit of justice, leading to an investigation that uncovered 15 other survivors of abuse by the same teacher, and raised important questions about the protection of young women in our society.
At Lerners, we have worked with many survivors of abuse committed by those in positions of power, and we have deep respect for their strength and courage. We are always moved when such a survivor decides that they are ready to share their story, inspire others to do the same, and advocate for change as Anne-Marie has done and continues to do. We admire Anne-Marie for her insight, selflessness and bravery, and we encourage everyone to listen.
