00:02Feeling relieved and empowered, Amwyn Hanmar welcoming the sentencing of 39-year-old Anthony
00:09Brain, one of 13 victims impacted by his actions.
00:13For a very long time after it happened, I couldn't get out of bed and get dressed without
00:23being in tears.
00:24I don't know if I realised how vulnerable I am until that happened.
00:28Ms Hanmar received a remedial massage from Brain for pain as a result of muscular dystrophy
00:34almost three years ago.
00:36Brain today sentenced for sexually assaulting the women between 2021 and 2023.
00:42The court hearing the victims attended his Bunbury-based business for remedial massage,
00:47with Brain going much further.
00:49During sentencing, Judge Lisa Tovey told Brain,
00:52you took advantage of each and every one of the women who trusted you as a health professional
00:57for your own sexual motives, adding you violated their trust in the grossest possible way.
01:03Brain showed no reaction as he was sentenced to 15 years behind bars.
01:08The court heard the profound impact his offending had on his victims, with many losing their trust
01:13in themselves, others and in medical professionals.
01:16Ms Hanmar hopeful the experience will encourage others who've suffered abuse to speak out.
01:22Listen to things that other victims, survivors, have said about their experiences.
01:30Trust your instincts.
01:31It's going to stay with me, but I'm going to move on.
01:37Brain will be eligible for parole in 2039.
01:40What's going on?
