Episode 1212: Former boxer sexually abused by coach as a child now seeking law reform

Former international amateur boxer Simon Byrne is still fighting the hardest battle of his life after confronting his childhood sexual abuse.  

His attacker Patrick Lowe was his boxing coach when Simon took up the sport at the age of 11 in Manchester.

Lowe, who is now in his 80s, escaped justice after being declared unfit to stand trial because of dementia.

Eamon is joined today by Simon and his wife Maria who are campaigning to have the law changed in the UK so even elderly and frail sex offenders face consequences.
