Panorama Online Pimps Exposed aired last night but viewers had one major complaint

Now, in BBC One’s latestepisode, BBC reporter Bronagh Munro will be diving into the world of online sex work and pimps.“We’ve got to do something”: Victoria Derbyshire on why tonight’s Panorama on domestic violence is vital viewing

Britain’s ‘Virginity’ Clinics Uncovered: ITV documentary explores what happens at the UK’s secret virginity clinics“Their pictures can be seen next to adverts for lawn mowers and patio furniture, but has the move away from the streets made prostitution any safer for the women involved? Reporter Bronagh Munro investigates the online pimps who traffic vulnerable women for sex and the high-profile website that is helping them to cash in.

Through his phone, this is the first time we’re given a look into the services offered by online classified advertisement site, Vivastreet. Multiple messages sent to his phone show that he controls the ads for girls on the listing platform and as 50% off discounts and renewal reminders for Vivastreet are regularly sent to him, it’s clear he is a valued user of Vivastreet’s ads listings. Subsequently, the man is accused of trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain.

Munro highlights one case to show the scale of the online pimping situation, with one convicted sex trafficker, in the north-west of England, spending £25,000 on Vivastreet ads. The site even gave him his own personal account manager. He set up profiles and managed them but as UK Feminista’s director, Kat Banyard states in the episode: “Vivastreet is a magnet for sex traffickers and that’s because Vivastreet makes it so quick and so easy to advertise women to sex buyers.
