Pirate Predator: Karen's Story

In this episode, we bring you a deeply personal interview with Karen, a daughter of Eamon Cooke. As a child, Karen was abused by her father, and in 2010, Eamon Cooke was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for his crimes against Karen. Now speaking publicly for the first time, Karen courageously recounts her experiences of growing up with Cooke and the horrific abuse she endured at his hands. Her powerful testimony offers a deep insight into the lasting impact of his actions.
