An online catfish with a fetish has tricked potentially hundreds of women in their 20s and 30s into viewing explicit content by posing under a series of false or impersonation accounts.
Dr Rebecca Whittington, online safety editor at Reach, the UK and Ireland's biggest commercial publisher, speaks to a victim of the catfish, who admits to feeling humiliated and embarrassed by his actions.
There is also the viewpoint from a legal expert about the limitations of the criminal case against the "Atomic Catfish". Chara Bakalis, head of Oxford Brookes Law School, discusses how the new Online Safety Act could be potentially used against the fetishist.
