After his exposé led to the arrest of a so-called pickup artist in Glasgow, reporter Myles Bonnar turns his attention to the wider seduction industry in the UK. He investigates the seduction coaches who sell techniques on how to sleep with as many women as possible, as quickly as possible. This article documents the men who use secret filming to capture intimate moments with women – from stopping women in the street to covertly filming sex and posting it online. The UK epicentre for this multi-million pound industry is London so Bonnar goes undercover, to see for himself, the dangerous techniques men are being taught. While attending a seduction boot camp – where coaches teach men how to pick-up women - Bonnar witnesses teenagers being targeted and hears techniques on how to overcome what is known as Last Minute Resistance to sex. The BBC uncovers the underground world of pick-up while confronting the very men who are profiting from potentially illegal activities.

This just in! Breaking news! You don't want to miss THIS! If you get your news online or from social media, this type of headline sounds very familiar. What's real? What's fake? What's satire? Now that anyone with access to a phone or computer can publish information online, it's getting harder to tell. But as more people go to Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and other online sources for their news and information, it's even more crucial that all of us -- especially kids -- learn to decode what we read online. (Learn more about how kids get their news and how they feel about it in Common Sense Media's report, News and America's Kids: How Young People Perceive and Are Impacted by the News.)
