Russell Manser lived a life of crime and built a criminal career off robbing banks during the 80s and early 90s. This eventually led him to prison, serving up to 23 years.

But there is more to Russell's story than a life behind bars. 

Russell experienced sexual abuse at a young age whilst at several boys' homes. 

Thirty years later he provided evidence to Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse in 2014 and now tells his survivor story.
