While The Front Page is taking its summer break, we are shining a spotlight on some of the biggest podcasts and news events from the NZ Herald network over the last year.
For years, Kiwis have pondered the identity of the ‘prominent businessman’, who, after several eventful court cases, was found guilty of sexually assaulting three men over a number of years.
In 2023, he was unmasked as James Wallace, at the time a knight recognised for his services to the arts as one of our country’s biggest patrons.
In a three-part special series of A Moment in Crime - the country’s top local true crime podcast - Anna Leask re-examined the case, looking at who Wallace was, the victims whose lives he ruined, and how he got away with it for so long.
In this excerpt from the first episode of The Patron, you can learn who James Wallace is, and how Leask was the first journalist to report his crimes. You can listen to the full episode and series in the A Moment in Crime feed on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
