Crossing the Line is a series of connected monologues about the sexual abuse
of children and the ripple effect of secondary trauma. They can be read, or
performed, as a means of raising awareness about these subjects. The
Downloader searches the Internet for child sexual abuse material. The Wife
has to deal with the consequences of his arrest. The Detective is a kind and
competent man overwhelmed by what he has to deal with. The Daughter is
traumatised by her father being revealed as a sex offender. The Mother
realises her child’s abuse has been filmed for the entertainment of others.
The author has worked in the field of sexual abuse for thirty-five years. He is
involved in the training of police officers and others about the motives and
mindset of online offenders, and how families might be supported when
sexual abuse is revealed.
