This essay reviews a recent book on a New Zealand child abuse case which has
become well-known in that country. It uses the review to explore broader issues
associated with the differing and controversial forms of child sexual abuse that
have come into focus in some English speaking societies over the last 20 years
and the social context which has made their emergence possible.
