# In Her Defence: Breach of Trust A podcast by The Globe and Mail. What happens when one of the “good guys” turns out to be a bad guy? The highly-acclaimed true crime podcast series In Her Defence returns with In Her Defence: Breach of Trust. This seven-episode season explores the case of Sgt. Robert Semenchuck, a Regina police officer who preyed on hundreds of vulnerable women using information from police databases. Some of those women risked it all to expose him, and hold him accountable. But would the system punish one of its own? Hosted by award-winning crime reporter Jana G. Pruden, and based on more than 50 hours of exclusive interviews with dozens of women, police officers, lawyers and legal experts, In Her Defence: Breach of Trust reveals serious gaps in the way law enforcement agencies in Canada are policing themselves, and the serious harm women are suffering as a result. Launching September 8, 2026. Follow In Her Defence now, so you don’t miss an episode.
