Convicted in 2015 of the rape and indecent assault of three girls that he had coached, former Wimbledon doubles champion Bob Hewitt was ordered to serve six years of an eight-year sentence, because of his advanced age. Now, 80-year-old Hewitt has been granted parole in a process that has been flawed and traumatising for his victims. Carte Blanche investigates how perpetrators of heinous crimes are considered for parole. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/carteblanchetv
