My own grandchildren suffered from child abuse behind closed doors, but it's time to lift the veil on the secrecy and expose the epidemic of child sexual abuse. One night, Alexander receives a phone call from his distraught daughter saying that her toddler had been sexually abused by her father. The disclosure from this little girl, and eventually her older sister, was sickening and soul wrenching, and yet their word, their cry for help was not enough to protect them. Veil of Secrecy unveils the shocking truth and details of the extraordinary lengths their father, a pedophile, went to in order to keep his wife and children trapped for six years in a vicious cycle of abuse. What he did to protect his so-called celebrity status, all while being protected by his own family and even the police is unravelled. Alexander watched his family be destroyed by a Family Law Court system that was not able or willing to stand up and protect these young girls. He witnessed the flaws of the system and even took it upon himself to challenge the Prime Minister/s to address the issues. His moving story and call to action gives a voice to the ongoing child victims who have a right to be safe. 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.' ﻿Edmund Burke
