The Woman Behind George Pell's Forgotten Victim

For the past 20 years, Mia's guest has been the voice for over a thousand victims and survivors of child sexual abuse.

Right now, Lisa Flynn is representing the father of one of the choir boys who was sexually abused by George Pell at the age of 13.
