⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of domestic violence, sexual violence, stalking, coercive control, and police misconduct.
In this gripping and courageous episode of The FEMCAST, we meet Cathy Oddie, a woman who endured some of the worst domestic violence imaginable. Her ex-partner broke her bones, burned her, choked her unconscious countless times… and when she finally found the strength to escape, he began stalking her.
Desperate for help, Cathy turned to the police. But instead of protection, she was raped - by the very officer assigned to help her. That officer would go on to rape her for another 18 months. It would take her 18 years to report him. By then, he was a senior-ranking inspector in the force.
Cathy didn’t just survive. She rose. Today, she’s an advocate rewriting the system and using her lived experience to protect other women and demand justice.
