BBC documentary uncovers hidden network of spycamming as tech-abuse referrals surge

A BBC investigation has infiltrated a voyeur website where men secretly filmed women and shared footage, while charities report a sharp rise in technology-facilitated abuse.

• Journalists Jess Davies and Liam Connell infiltrated a voyeur website and uncovered users exchanging tips on secretly filming people and boasting about their recordings.
• Davies confronted the forum's owner, who said he removes non-consensual content; Davies stated that little thought had been given to the long-lasting harm to victims.
• Charity Refuge reported a 78% increase in technology-facilitated abuse referrals; its policy manager Bo Bottomley called for tougher regulation of spy cameras and better police training.
• Welsh Women's Aid said the scale of the abuse is hard to quantify because most victims are not aware it is happening to them.
