Catching the men selling subway groping videos
Women who are groped on trains in East Asia face the threat of their assault being filmed and uploaded for sale online. 麻豆官网首页入口 Eye goes undercover to unmask the men cashing in.
In East Asia, many women like Takako (not her real name) are targeted in public by sexual predators. In some cases, they face another violation - the attack is filmed and the videos are sold online. Most videos follow the same pattern - a man secretly films a woman from behind and follows her on to a train. Seconds later, he sexually abuses her. The men act discreetly - and their victims can seem totally unaware. These graphic videos are then listed on the websites for sale.
Thousands of arrests are made every year but many more go undetected and unpunished.
For 5 Minutes On, the 麻豆官网首页入口's Zhaoyin Feng - from the 麻豆官网首页入口 World Service's investigative unit, 麻豆官网首页入口 Eye, tracks down the men behind three websites which sell and produce thousands of these sexual assault videos.
