A man has recently been taken into custody for his involvement in a string of viral videos that have caused quite a stir on social media. These videos, filmed in the heart of Manchester city centre, have captured the attention of millions. Typically, they feature women who are visibly intoxicated, out on the town with the caption "Manchester nightlife." However, upon further investigation by the MEN (Manchester Evening News), it was discovered that many of these women were being filmed without their consent and in compromising positions.
The situation took a more disturbing turn when it was discovered that there were even more explicit videos being shared behind paywalls for a monthly subscription fee. These videos would zoom in on women's bodies, specifically their breasts and bottoms, as they walked through the city. This discovery prompted the MEN to share their findings with the Greater Manchester Police, who then carried out a warrant in Bradford this morning and arrested a suspect on charges of stalking and harassment.
This arrest marks a significant development as it is believed to be the first of its kind in the country, in regards to viral videos on social media platforms. These videos have not only been filmed in Manchester but also in other major cities such as London, Liverpool, and Leeds. The police have stated that their investigation has revealed even more shocking content, including suspected non-consensual nudity and upskirting, locked behind paywalled accounts.
The police have been urging anyone who has been directly affected by these videos to come forward, and many brave women have done so. They have shared their stories of fear and the impact that this violation of privacy has had on their sense of safety while out at night. Over the past few months, the police have been working closely with the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) to determine the appropriate course of action for the numerous reports received.
The majority of these videos were filmed in the Peter Street and Deansgate areas of Manchester. Chief Inspector Stephen Wiggins has assured the public that the police take this matter very seriously and have been working diligently with their partners to assess the situation and take the necessary actions. He emphasized that everyone has the right to feel safe while enjoying a night out, and these videos have caused many, especially women, to feel otherwise. Filming in public is legal, but it becomes a serious offence when it crosses the line into upskirting, stalking, or harassment.
The police have taken proactive measures to ensure the safety of the public, especially during the upcoming busy holiday season. With approximately 60 officers patrolling the city centre hotspots every Friday and Saturday, and with the support of partners, charities, and volunteers, they are keeping a close eye out for any predatory behaviour. They are determined to challenge and put a stop to such actions and protect anyone who may be vulnerable. Chief Inspector Wiggins wants to reassure the public that Manchester's nightlife is safe, and they can expect the police to take swift action against anyone who threatens that safety.
The police also encourage anyone who has been personally affected by these videos to come forward and report their experience. By doing so, they can assist with the ongoing investigation and bring those responsible to justice. As the holiday season approaches, the police want to remind everyone that they are committed to ensuring the safety of the community, and they will not tolerate any behaviour that jeopardizes that.
