The Commune: Sex, drugs - and a Guru called Bert

Anyone else listened to this stuff podcast? I've read a few books and watched some doco's but this really unpacks a lot of info on the horrendous things that went on.

For those out of the loop, Bert Potter and a group of others started a commune called Centrepoint in Albany in the late 70's based around psychotherapy, open sexuality and experimental living. It quickly devolved into sexual abuse of children, major drug manufacturing and cult behaviour. Bert Potter the leader, his son and half a dozen others were jailed for sexual abuse of children from 3 years old upwards.

I've kind of gone down the rabbit hole trying to work out where some of the key people ended up. The craziest one that probably deserves a podcast all of it's own is Felicity Goodyear-Smith, she was a medical doctor that specialised in child sexual abuse, and was a police doctor and expert witness on abuse cases. She met and married John Potter, Bert's son, already a convicted child sex offender, and moved into a caravan next to Bert's house for half a decade while working as the Centrepoint GP.

Felicity went on to write a book, and built a career around being a child sex apologist that basically denies sexual contact between adults and children is always harmful - and has had a successful career and become a Professor of Medicine at Auckland Uni. She was also a key advisor for ACCto defund counselling and financial help for sexual abuse survivors. Honestly unbelievable that someone would not only publicly attach themselves to an abuser, but build a career around defending their criminal views and taking away help for victims.
