From abused child to anti trafficking advocate: Jas Rawlinson Pt. 1
6/13/20261 hr 2 min
Jas Rawlinson is a fearless journalist, author and advocate. But before she was any of those things, she was a girl trying to survive in a home filled with domestic violence and coercive control. Jas grew up watching her father abuse her mother. She carried that shame into her first relationship, where love bombing turned into sexual abuse. But Jas didn't stay silent. She reclaimed her story and her power. And now, she's on a mission to expose the systems that exploit vulnerable women.
In this episode of I Catch Killers, Jas explains the difference between physical and emotional abuse, and why the latter is so often dismissed, why she went undercover to expose Brisbane’s illegal massage parlour industry, and why she refuses to believe all men are the problem.
This episode contains graphic descriptions of sexual assault and men's violence against women. If you or anyone you know is impacted by domestic, family or sexual violence, contact 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for counselling, information and support services anytime.

[rock music] The public has had a long-held fascination with detectives. Detectives see a side of life the average person is never exposed to. I spent 34 years as a cop. For 25 of those years, I was catching killers. That's what I did for a living. I was a homicide detective. I'm no longer just interviewing bad guys. Instead, I'm taking the public into the world in which I operated. The guests I talk to each week have amazing stories from all sides of the law. The interviews are raw and honest, just like the people I talk to. Some of the content and language might be confronting. That's because no one who comes into contact with crime is left unchanged. Join me now as I take you into this world. [rock music] Today's episode is gonna challenge you. It's gonna make you feel uncomfortable, and that's exactly why it needs to be heard. My guest is Jas Rollinson, a fearless journalist, author, and advocate. But before she was any of those things, she was a girl trying to survive in a home filled with domestic violence and coercive control. Jas grew up watching her father abuse her mother. She carried that shame into a relationship where love bombing turned into sexual abuse. But Jas didn't stay silent. She reclaimed her story and her power, and now she's on a mission to expose the systems that exploit vulnerable women. Jas Rollinson, welcome to I Catch Killers.
