The Boy They Tried to Erase is a harrowing and powerful true story of survival, betrayal, and the unrelenting fight for justice.

​

As a young boy boarding at Brisbane’s prestigious Nudgee College, he was subjected to unspeakable abuse at the hands of those cloaked in religious authority. Silenced by shame and the iron grip of the Catholic Church, he buried the truth deep within him—until decades later, when he finally found the courage to speak out.

​

But the Church was already prepared. In the shadowy depths of what insiders call the “war rooms,” a plan was set in motion—not to reckon with the past, but to erase it. Accused of a heinous crime he didn’t commit, he found himself trapped in a nightmarish web of lies, fabricated evidence, and institutional protectionism designed to destroy his credibility and bury the truth once and for all.

​

This book is not just his testimony—it's a reckoning. A chilling exposé of how far powerful systems will go to silence victims and protect their own.

The Boy They Tried to Erase is a raw and courageous account that dares to confront the unthinkable—and demands that we all do the same.
