Trigger warning: This episode addresses incest and generational child sexual abuse, topics that may be especially difficult for some listeners. Please listen with care.The Goler Clan case is one of the most harrowing, and somewhat hidden, tragedies in North American history: a remote, impoverished community in the hills of Nova Scotia where generational incest, abuse, and neglect went unchecked for decades. What outsiders dismissed as a "hillbilly sex ring” was, in reality, a closed-off world where children were trapped in cycles of violence they couldn’t name and had almost no power to escape. When authorities finally intervened in the 1980s, what they uncovered was devastating: a closed community so isolated, so ignored, that the line between victim and perpetrator had blurred across generations. The arrests that followed shattered the quiet of the Annapolis Valley and exposed the brutal truth of what had been going on for decades. This is a case steeped in horrific darkness, and every detail forces us to confront the uncomfortable question: how many horrors thrive simply because no one bothers to look, care, or act?
