Case 115: Operation Cathedral

Comments

I listen to a lot of true crime, but as a mother this one chills me to my core. It’s a good reminder to be ever vigilant, but the fact that such a tiny fraction of victims were ever identified makes my blood run cold. 💔💔🤢🤢😭

Willow Hall

Absolutely horrendous crimes!!! And I'm livid with how lenient the sentences are. The new 10 yr max is still too little imo. Great episode and handled with much consideration. Well done.

Selina Beltran

Awesome episode

Melanie G.

Yet another phenomenal episode. This one was the first to hit close to home for me, as I live in Santa Rosa, CA. It was definitely surreal to hear Casey's voice saying my city's name- and I had absolutely no idea such a vile person was terrorizing my neighbors. In 1996 I was about 4 years old living 10-15 miles down the highway.

This was a very tough listen, and I’m a criminal lawyer so have dealt with many cases along these lines.

Pip

Wow what a well done case! I really can not believe that the judge gave such light sentences to these monsters. And REALLY was shocked that they only made them register as sex offenders for 7 yrs, some of them. Did the actually think they were going to change their sick obsession?

Jan LeBlanc

What horrid people. Death is too good for them. Never touch a child.

Nora Charles

Ouch. So horrible. So good.

Lyman Green

Such a great story and so well told. Great job by everyone on the CF team.

Matt Riggle

I’m afraid to listen to this one! Will have to read the comments. I talk to my step kids about stuff to make them away. So hard to keep kids safe!

AMFP

Literally makes me sick. Drug dealers who sell drugs willingly to paying adults can do lengthy jail sentences maybe even life and u have people abusing, molesting, and torturing children over n over again and nothing happens to them they get a slap on the wrist n walk around like nothing happened and reoffend over n over n over again there’s a problem with this. But u did your job mr anonymous you got my blood boiling.

Thank you Maya.

This was brutal, but I’m glad Casefile did this episode. People need to understand how ‘normal’ and widespread the abuse of children is. Not only how the perpetrators operate but how not talking about it, can feed into how it’s done. Nothing will change if it’s not addressed or talked about. Well done, team :)

Maya George

Wow!!!! 😩 I can’t believe the light sentences they received. Such a tragic story

Crystal Ann

Ooh, this one is a hard listen. :-(

Brenda Wells

Wow

Jess Elms

Hell yes!

Benjamin Coyle

Far out. One of the most depraved cases I've listened to date. Definitely not for the faint hearted. @Miley - In addition to the BBC Panorama documentary, are there any good books that summarises the Operation W case?
