Trolls. We're Coming to Get You—Episode 2

Description

Frankie and her team uncover one of the most offensive internet trolls they have ever seen when they hear X Factor star Chloe Jasmine’s story. The level of misogyny and racism that this unrepentant troll sends to anyone in the public eye is unprecedented so they are determined to expose him and make him explain himself. While the team track him down to his home address in Glasgow, Frankie also hears the story of footballer’s wife Rebekah Vardy, who shares her harrowing story of the football fanatics who targeted her 2-year-old daughter with rape threats. She also hears the inspirational story of Joshua Hewitt, the 20-year-old who suffers from Asperger’s Syndrome. Despite being targeted as a schoolboy by online bullies so badly that he attempted suicide, he has turned the experience into a positive and now mentors other victims of trolling through a hugely popular YouTube channel. The episode ends with a dramatic dawn confrontation between Chloe Jasmine and her abusive troll.
