'Give me a kiss' man tells woman he followed to hotel
A journalist has shared her terrifying experience while investigating sexual harassment in Liverpool.
Ellie Flynn went "undercover" for BBC Dispatches as part of an investigation into the threats that women face on nights out. Her investigation brought her to Liverpool, where she pretended to be drunk and alone on a Saturday night in the city centre to see what would happen.
Despite having a security team on hand, Ellie claims her "heart was racing" when a man followed her back to her hotel room, after she told him she didn't want him to come. She said: "Despite giving the man no indication I want him to come with me, he follows me all the way back to my hotel room, which has been rigged with secret cameras.

"Dropping my drunk façade after the door closes, I ask him why he has followed me in. He insists: “We came together.” My heart is racing as I reply: “No we didn’t, you followed me. I never said to come.”
The man was eventually convinced to leave and apologised, before he reportedly turned around and said: "Come on, give me a kiss."
