Listen "Bonus episode: Jared Savage on the fall of Jevon McSkimming"
Episode Synopsis
There have been no official talks yet about compensation for the complainant against Jevon McSkimming. The former Deputy Police Commissioner is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to having child sexual exploitation and bestiality material on his work devices. A scathing watchdog report has found some of the nation's highest-ranking officers ignored a young woman's anonymous complaints against McSkimming. Instead, she was prosecuted for digital harassment. The handling of the case has been called ‘appalling’ by the now Police Commissioner Richard Chambers and Police Minister Mark Mitchell. Today on The Front Page, my colleague Herald senior reporter Jared Savage is with us to take us behind the scenes of how this case unfolded, and how the sordid details came to light.
