Australian True Crime

Former WA Police Force officer and survivor of serial rapist Adrian Trevor Moore, Nicole Edwards, shares her harrowing experience. She discusses how her case was mishandled due to Moore's position within the police force and the lack of support for victims. The podcast explores the manipulation tactics and shocking revelations of the serial perpetrator, as well as the invasion of privacy by a police officer who secretly recorded over 200 women. It delves into the aftermath of the sentencing of the serial rapist, including the emotional impact on victims and loss of career.

Our guest today is Nicole Edwards. She served in the Western Australian Police Force for 17 years until she retired on mental health grounds in 2023. Nicole was a victim of serial rapist Adrian Trevor Moore, who was found guilty in 2022 of assaulting 13 women. He was also a WA Police Officer. Nicole's position within WA police didn't mean her case was expedited or even that it was treated within the normal parameters of a sexual assault case. You see, because of Adrian Moore's position within WA Police, they decided to keep the investigation within their internal affairs department rather than send it to the well trained and experienced officers in the Sex Crimes squad.As a result, the case and the victims were grossly mishandled. Nicole Edwards joins us today to tell her story.For Support: Lifeline  on 13 11 1413 YARN on 13 92 76 (24/7 crisis support phone line for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples)1800RESPECT: 1800 737 732CREDITS:Host: Meshel Laurie.
