Breaking the Silence: Chaz Balogh’s Survivor Story

 

In Part 2, former Detective Sergeant Chaz Balogh shares publicly how he survived childhood sexual abuse and carried that secret for more than 40 years, even while investigating crimes against children. Chaz and Alicia discuss the silence and stigma faced by male survivors, why viewing child sexual abuse material is never a victimless crime, and the devastating mental-health toll this work can take on investigators. They also reflect on the victims Chaz continues to support, the healing power of speaking out, and how his K-9 partner Spike helped save his life.
