So many people are behind you as you strive for justice for yourself and I for one am personally proud of you for showing Hughes to the public for exactly what he IS. The public are very unsure as to what is happening with your case and the cases of the other women who have brought forward alligations also, but perhaps it is as said above, that there is a media ban. I know a lot of people want to see this rotten egg in jail and are wondering how the case is progressing. All the best. You are very brave!! Sarah

I know its been an eventful one. spending time with family we all know its good and sometimes challenging, I hope you have a good day with whatever if its enjoying the aussie summer or US winter. I understand there is one last hey dad cast member to be interviewed, whether the investigation continues or not. Hi sarah,

I hope that the case is building strong so that you are vindicated at last and that it raises public awareness about the vunerability of children to molestation from adults in all walks of life. Best wishes Di Hi Sarah

I was aware from something I read on a site some years ago that "erratic behaviour by a key cast member" (almost word for word) created some tension but I never would have imagined it would have amounted to something so serious. Do you happen to know where the court case is up to? Apparently, here in Australia, there's been a media ban put on interviews etc until the end of the case. Would be really interested in getting to know what happens to Hughes-- I just hope he's found guilty. Unfortunately, (in a way, I guess) Hey Dad is still one of my favourite shows, despite the news about what has happened... Not particularly 'cos of him as the lead character but I always liked the whole show anyway. Hopefully, by speaking up it's assisted you in coming to terms with your ordeal and is the first step to a healing process. All the best. Hey Sarah,

I live in the UK and manage to pick up the show on cable tv. I loved it, and admired your work as little Jenny. After a bad day at work I came home and put on one of the best of dvds I have it cheered me up. I did a search to see if Shock had released anymore and found the sex scandal stuff. I watched the interviews given by you and the cast and was like many other fans mortified on what I was seeing. To think that the management knew it was going on and let it sickened me. I work as a Teaching Assistant at a lovely little primary school and today was really careful on any contact I had with my children. As sad as it is I found myself pushing the children away as they came for cuddles. They had no idea why. Have you set up and foundations or awareness groups that I could be apart of and hopefully help children in the UK who are too scared to speak out? If so you now have my email address please let me know I will do what I can from this side of the world. These monsters have to be stopped and I hope they manage to nail him and the management for condoning such acts to continue. Good luck in all you do Sarah, smile and be happy. Lots of love...Wendy xxxxxxxxxxxx P.S. please pass on my regards to the other cast members for the way they have stood by you in all of this they are all amazing. Hello Sarah,

I made it clear I was NOT going to be involved if he was. Thankfully, it seems so did most of the rest of the cast. I do think this will end up in court. The police are still busy investigating and interviewing people. I know the Germans have about 5 DVD sets. I think there's 3 sets in Australia. None of us get any money from the DVD sets unfortunately, so I really don't see any of the cast pushing for more DVD sets... I'm sure in a few months you'll see a lot more of the cast together, even if it is just in a courtroom. I didn't get to make it back this weekend, but look for pics of the cast together at Julie's wedding.

I just want to ask did you dread doing the reunion specials you did did you think you would have to face him again on where are they now as he refuses to part take in any reunion. I heard that the brisbane radio reunion was not going to happen if robert was involved? Do you think this will end up in court? I think after all this as you are doing is to "get on with life". But its good that most of the cast are still good friends and maybe there culd be a 25th anniversary reunion or another dvd relase. We need that sarah! I love the clips you are posting on here. just think if you did speak up 20 or so years ago he would have gone and so would hey dad…! just imagine the show would go either without him or with him, it only lasted a few months after robert left.

Some days I wonder why I spoke up, then I get emails from people letting me know I did the right thing and it makes me feel much better. I'm looking forward to, and dreading the next chapter at the same time. As hard as it is, I think it will all be worth it in the end...
