It says the BBC is aware of one other woman who contacted that creep to ask that videos of her be taken down.

The guy has multiple platforms for these videos, no doubt monetized. He follows the women around.

We cannot know how many of the women he has filmed were aware of what was happening to them.

The BBC found multiple accounts run by the same man across YouTube, Instagram, and Threads, which post similar content.

Meta, the company that owns Instagram and Threads, as well as making smart glasses, has not given the BBC a comment but has taken down the video of Alice which was reposted.

The YouTube account posting similar videos is no longer active.
