TW: Sexual Assault
On June 4, Jess broke the story that rocked Christian Music: in an investigation for The Roys Report, she uncovered allegations that Michael Tait, formerly of DC Talk and Newsboys, had allegedly sexually assaulted three men between 2005-2014, In the following days and weeks, Newsboys would release a statement saying Tait had admitted to living a double life and Tait would release his own confession regarding substance abuse and unwanted sexual advances. As more stories came to light through The Guardian and The Roys Report, radio stations dropped Newsboys from airplay, and now they have been cut from their record label.
In today's special episode, Jess chat's about how she began her two-and-a half year investigation, talks about why it's important these stories go public in Christian Music, and shares a radio interview she did with 96.3fm in Australia in the days following the first article.
