    Nov 18 2025

    How is it possible to be more evil than Jimmy Saville? Step forward prison officer and cook Neville Husband, now regarded as the most prolific sex offender in British history. Hundreds of young men were abused by Husband, mainly at a young offenders detention centre outside Durham.

In this epsiode we also explore what makes a man become a paedophile and has the world changed since Neville Husband was on the prowl 20 years ago.
