complaint against The Lost Boys of Dilworth docudrama by Mark Easton
Neil Harding made this Official Information request to Television New Zealand Limited
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Neil Harding to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Neil Harding
Dear Television New Zealand Limited,
I have heard through the Dilworth grapevine that a complaint was made against the Lost Boys of Dilworth docudrama that aired on TVNZ in April 2024. This was from Mark Easton, a former Dilworth student, also representing many other Dilworth Old Boys. Apparently, it asserts that I am not an abuse victim, nor is my friend Mark Staufer. As the main whistleblower in the Dilworth School sexual abuse scandal, I have encountered significant obstacles and opposition. Typical of many survivors, I have also encountered DARVO, an acronym for Deny, Attack and Reverse Victim and Offender. This is particularly distressing to me, hearing that my personal integrity and credibility may have been challenged. I therefore need to see this complaint to determine the nature and extent of this.
Yours faithfully,
Neil Harding
