    Sexual abuse of child should not be referred to as a "relationship "
    Chris Dawson's student was coerced and manipulated from a young age. She is also a victim along with Lyn and her daughters who have spent their lives believing that their mother abandoned them 😪

      Thank you for saying this! I had a “relationship” with my 45 year old boss when I was 16, we would be alone at work together all day then I would babysit his kids too, that’s how it started. I was living on my own, poor and very lonely and unsupported so I guess I was an easy target. Now I realise I’m not a bad person I was taken advantage of.

    What Dr G said at the end is completely right. I know that now. I was with my husband over 19 years married almost 16. I realise now that he started his behaviour about a year into the relationship and just got worse and worse. He told me it was my fault, whatever happened, had numerous affairs I found out later. The final straw was finding out about a 2yr affair. He convinced me to try once more, but his behaviour got violent towards me. I just took the children and left one day because I knew the next episode was probably going to end up with me getting a punch or worse. It was the best decision of my life.

      Do you believe moving a teenager into the home, the marital bed, and three-ways with your identical twin were just examples of ‘the swinging’80’s’? I just don’t think anyone… not friends and family, not police and prosecutors, not the public have given enough credit to Joann, the teen lover, for her contributions to the deadly plot and as a co-conspirator in the murder of Lynn. ‘Check the soft soil by the girls bedrooms’ (for Lynn’s body) is a DEAD GIVEAWAY that she knew if not participated in the disposal of her rival’s body. The girl was desperate for a secure landing from her troubled past. She had even more at stake than the animalistic, sex-crazed husband. He could pick another teen but when was Joann ever going to hit the ‘life lottery’…. Built and paid for… to escape her miserable teen home life. She had no qualms about committing adultery in the marital home while the wife provided her refuge. She deserves the credit due and jail time. A woman was murdered.

      He got away with it for the same reason that sexual abusers of minors got way with their crimes in churches and schools throughout the C20th. A big component was people in general not being able to recognise abuse when they saw it or heard about it. At that time there was no understanding of pedophile "grooming": "Grooming" is quite a recent development in social awareness. I am of the 1970s generation, and it was generally accepted that inevitably a single male teacher would occasionally form a relationship one of the senior girls (If "Anne of Green Gables"is any guide -- the popular classic unashamedly mentions a classmate of Anne's who is the love interest of the male teacher; as if it is perfectly acceptable!) No-one in the 70s thought that these relationships were a crime (though some might consider them immoral). if the girls were 16 years old or over, they had reached the Age of Consent, so legally, the brothers were in the clear. Fellow teachers in the 70s might secretly disapprove ( especially since they would have known that the Dawson brothers were married), but usually they would turn a blind eye, as it was considered completely inappropriate to interfere in a persons "private life" or penalise a professional for what was legal sexual behaviour carried on outside of the classroom. The NSW teachers Federation (Union) was, and is, very strong ) and the Dawson brothers would have been heavily and vigorously defended by the union against any reprimand or action initiated by the school principal or another teacher.
      As for the girls' fellow students, they would not have dreamed of complaining to parents or teachers -- because they would have observed that the girls were willing participants. They may also have feared that the school authorities would penalise them for complaining, as well as punishing the "teacher's pet" girls. Fellow students may also have felt a responsibility to protect the "teacher's pet" girls from the wrath of their parents. They may also have feared a general crackdown by the principal on school freedoms as a result, affecting all students. Also, a teacher such as the Dawson brothers could fail a student in their subject and no-one could question it; and if a teacher such as Chris Dawson chose to fail a student who had complained about him; if he denied the allegations and said they were lying and got them punished or expelled who was going to be believed, the student or the teacher? if victims of even more serious sexual abuse, students who had been physically as well as emotionally abused by teachers and priests, were always disbelieved, there is every reason to think that any sexual misconduct allegation against a teacher would also be squashed.

      Here in Germany, media are only allowed to refer to people with first name and then the initial of their last name (except when they're celebrities or politicians). In pictures, their eyes have to be hidden. Not only for victims, but often also for perpetrators. For example the horrible Germanwings pilot was referred to as "Andreas L." and there was a black rectangular covering his eyes on pictures. It's odd to see the full name and face on the internet, then. But I still think it's right to maintain these laws here- not only to protect victims, but also take some "power" off perpetrators. Another time, for some reason our media showed the uncensored pictures of a terrorist that had killed people in Berlin with a truck. And they used a pic where he was good-looking and smiling, and I hated it. It was like some kind of advertisement for his deeds to portray him handsomely, with his full name and without covering his eyes.

Lynn paid the ultimate price being too in love with this guy who did not deserve such love. Joanne came after and saw more easily the dark side of this man, she was smart to leave him behind. I am satisfied he is now jailed but I am upset that he still have 40 years to enjoy his life and it's very unfair for Joanne, the children and her family. Most probably the mother passed away before knowing the truth.

They could not have not known about the affair, the beatings, the fact that no mother would up and leave her children, when she had so many options to stay around and deal with a cheating husband. Everything was pointing to foul play, with only one suspect, and yet they did not investigate the husband thoroughly. They let his celebrity status blind them and keep them from doing their jobs. Justice after 40 years is not called good police work. It was apparently a true crime podcaster who was instrumental in his final conviction.

At some point he realised how good looking he was, girls started throwing themselves at him and his bother, who were both rugby stars. This is when the narcissism started. The twin brothers started thinking they were not ‘mere mortals’. Ultimately the lies Chris told about Lyn after she disappeared was what the judge said had convicted him. Great analysis Dr Grande!

    Some women are so DESPERATE to say that they have a man and are married that they put up with everything and anything just to keep a man. Chris made it known by his actions (physical abuse, verbal abuse, and cheating) that he did not value or care about his wife. He moved his mistresses into the house not caring about his wife's feelings at all. COMPLETE DISRESPECT!!!!! The man checked out of the relationship LONG ago but there she was still holding on to him and it cost her her life. LADIES, never ever let a man tell you more than once that he does not want you and he doesn't value you. The best thing his wife could have done was grant him that divorce, move on with her life and live her best life and watch from a far as karma comes back to the both of them. Chris and his mistress (Jo-Ann) where only married eight years then separated; because she realized she got the same man as his wife did. If these type of men treat their current partners horrible their pattern will continue and they will treat the mistress terrible as well. They don't magically change their behavior because they get with a new partner and the new partner is not special they are just NEW eventually the old behaviors of the narcissist will come out again no matter who he is with so the best thing to do is just to LEAVE and find someone who respects, values, and loves you. I wish the wife had seen her own value instead of valuing and trying to cling on to her to a "man" she called her "husband."

    So glad you took a look at this case Dr Grande! Your last point about narcissists convincing others they are the problem is such a good one. Sadly, I think society’s views at the time played a part in Lyn’s attitude towards the situation with Chris. It’s possible that she tried to make it work because domestic violence was shameful, women leaving marriages at the time was still taboo and there was no financial support if she did so. Devastating to think she paid the ultimate price for her decision.

      Yes indeed. I dont know if Teatowel Flicking is just an Australian thing. Can non-Australians visualise this move, do they understand that this was quite a nasty thing that Chris D did? it's on the same level of pinching and twisting someone's flesh; and Chris D. actually did it in front of witnesses -- no doubt laughing, and saying that Lyn couldn't take a joke. Like you said, sadistic, because if the whip end touched you, it was indeed like a whip. It stung badly, especially if it hit bare skin.
      As an Aussie of a similar age to Lyn Dawson, as a kid I was taught the teatowel flick in the kitchen (by my dad I think) as a fun move, and i daresay i could still execute it today. The teatowel makes a cracking sound like a whip when you do it right. Of course we were only allowed to do it just out of range if we aimed it at a person, we could only aim low and we were not allowed to let the teatowel connect with the person targeted. We would have got into huge trouble if we had - especially if we targeted an unsuspecting victim. We kids practised the move against the kitchen cupboards so we could fine tune how close we could flick without actually making contact, and when parents weren't around we would have flicking "wars" where we learned to pull back out of range of an opponent's teatowel in the nick of time. do modern Aussie parents teach this to their kids these days though? not sure.

    Psychopathic and a Narcissist He created a love fantasy for his wife and when he tired of her he threw her out and abused her and she just could not accept that he never loved her (N's do not love) I wish that schools would teach about Narcissists People need to see what these psychos are about So sad for her Wish she would have just seen him for the trash he was and left But she had no idea Education in what a Narcissist is and what they do is something everyone should know It could save lives

    Thank you for doing this in depth analysis.....have a blessed and safe week..... 🙏 this channel is so helpful bc he is wise and describes cases very organized way... to warn others about Narcissitic abuse and Gaslighting and for folks to just be more wise when choosing friends and a spouse.. pets are better companions at times for older folks..like Queen Elizabeth had Welsh Corgis...her " floating carpet" the dogs

    Hello Dr. Grande. I usually love your dry humour, but in this case I feel I must protest. I was in a marriage and suffered IPV as a result thereof for 5 years. I can tell you on good authority and from personal experience that a wet dishcloth, when wielded as a ‘whip’ is extremely painful, so, sadly, on this occasion I feel I need to point out that the ‘tea towel/cheesecloth reference is in poor taste. Kindest, Camilla.

    Joanne Curtis actually described Chris Dawson as "narcissistic" in an interview with the police.

    Thank you for that Dr Grande. I love your (straight faced) sense of humor that is slipped into your presentations. Have you done an analysis of the cases of Gable Tostee, another Australian case where he was an accused murderer following a (one night stand) and his girlfriends fall from a 14th floor? Also, there's the case of Lloyd Rayney, acquitted of murdering his wife, Corryn Rayney? Both very intriguing cases.
