Merseyside Police are working with Channel 4 to investigate issues around predatory behaviour identified in a documentary investigation.
Earlier this month the broadcaster screened a programme showing journalist Ellie Flynn who went undercover on the streets of Liverpool city centre to highlight the reality of sexual harassment against women. Ms Flynn pretended to be drunk and alone on a Saturday night in the city centre to see what would happen.
The programme showed a man following her back to her hotel room and asking the journalist to give him a kiss, despite Ms Flynn at no point indicating she wanted him to join her. The undercover reporter was surrounded by a specialised security team and wore a mic as she went undercover in the city centre.
