Have boys been overlooked in the national conversation about grooming gang abuse? Clinical psychologist Dr. Alison McClymont joins Heretics to discuss why male victims of child sexual exploitation are often underreported, under-identified, and underserved, and why understanding the full picture is essential for protecting all children.Dr. Alison McClymont is a Clinical Psychologist specialising in Complex Trauma and PTSD, with more than 15 years of experience treating and researching survivors of child sexual abuse, human trafficking, gender-based violence, and other forms of extreme trauma. Her work has focused on helping victims recover while improving society's understanding of how abuse occurs and how it can be prevented.In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr. McClymont discusses the psychology of child sexual exploitation and explains why she believes male victims have historically received far less attention than they deserve. Drawing on clinical experience and published research, she argues that abuse involving boys may be significantly underreported because of stigma, shame, barriers to disclosure, and assumptions made by both professionals and the public.Why are boys less likely to disclose abuse? What does the research tell us about hidden victimisation? Have public discussions surrounding the UK's grooming gang scandals overlooked important aspects of the evidence? And how can safeguarding professionals ensure every victim is recognised and supported?Rather than focusing on political narratives or sensational headlines, this episode examines the issue through the lens of psychology, trauma, and safeguarding. Dr. McClymont discusses why abuse can affect any child regardless of sex, ethnicity, or background, and why effective child protection depends on recognising every victim rather than fitting cases into preconceived narratives.The conversation also explores the long-term psychological effects of childhood trauma, including PTSD, complex trauma, trust difficulties, and barriers to recovery. Dr. McClymont explains why early intervention, evidence-based treatment, and greater public awareness remain among the most effective ways to improve outcomes for survivors.Whether you're interested in psychology, safeguarding, criminology, trauma recovery, child protection, or current affairs, this interview offers a compassionate and evidence-based discussion about one of the most important yet often overlooked aspects of child sexual exploitation.
This video features an interview with clinical psychologist Dr. Alison McClymont on the Heretics podcast, where she discusses the often overlooked issue of male victims of child sexual exploitation (CSE) within the context of grooming gangs in the UK.

This video features an interview with clinical psychologist Dr. Alison McClymont on the Heretics podcast, where she discusses the often overlooked issue of male victims of child sexual exploitation (CSE) within the context of grooming gangs in the UK.
Key Highlights:
- Statistical Concerns: Dr. McClymont highlights that the lack of reported male victims in grooming gang cases is "statistically impossible" (0:02:00-0:02:29). She argues that data gaps are likely due to stigma, shame, and a failure by authorities to look for male victims.
- Cultural Context: The discussion touches on cultural practices such as Bachabazi in certain regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan, noting that when such practices occur within gangs, both boys and girls are typically victimized (0:00:34-0:01:00, 0:02:35-0:03:01).
- Hidden Evidence: Dr. McClymont questions why, given the prevalence of images used for blackmail and the potential for these to be sold online, there hasn't been more investigation into the distribution of such material (0:03:02-0:04:00).
- Systemic Failures: The conversation suggests a potential "grand cover-up" or a lack of clinical and research expertise within official inquiries (0:04:40-0:06:55), contributing to a focus on surface-level data rather than the full scope of the abuse.
- Institutional Indifference: The participants discuss the idea that the scale of the abuse, combined with political interests, may prevent a thorough investigation into the "depths of depravity" involved (0:07:41-0:08:35).
