  • 153. Behind the Veil: A Diplomatic Sexual Abuse Scandal with Kristin Louise Duncombe
    Kristin Louise Duncombe grew up traveling the world as the daughter of a U.S. State Department foreign service officer. But Kristin’s childhood and those of at least six other girls were shattered when they crossed paths with an American diplomat in Africa who sexually abused them. After one of the girls came forward with her story, the State Department swiftly sent him back to Washington, but officials declined to refer the case for investigation or prosecution. Kristin kept the secret for decades until she heard about the cover-up of sexual abuse by U.S. Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar. Kristin joins me to discuss what happened in Africa, the investigation and cover-up, better ways to handle childhood sexual abuse and why she feels it is important for us, as a society, to have these conversations.To read Kristin’s book about the abuse and coverup, Object: A Memoir:https://www.kristinduncombe.com/object-a-memoir/Contact me at [email protected] out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-storeVisit The True Crime Times Substack at:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comThe Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.
