Summary

Researching and thinking about the Delphi case requires us all to think about dark subjects most people are not be familiar with– topics such as internet predators and child sexual abuse materials. We feel that it would help us all understand better what happened in Delphi back in 2017 if we were able to get more context in those areas. So we have decided to begin a series of interviews with experts who have spent their careers studying these matters in order to get the benefit of their knowledge.

We are beginning this endeavor by talking with David Finkelhor.

Dr. Finkelhor has been researching issues involving child victimization, child maltreatment and family violence since 1977– which is even before there was an internet. He is the Director of Crimes against Children Research Center, Co-Director of the Family Research Laboratory, Professor of Sociology, and University Professor, at the University of New Hampshire.

At the end of the episode, we will have a few words about next Tuesday’s episode as well as a bit of news about the future of the Murder Sheet.
