In this episode of the UK True Crime Podcast, I look at the disturbing case of Matthew Falder, a seemingly ordinary university administrator who led a disturbing double life online. Using fake identities, manipulation and blackmail, Falder targeted vulnerable victims across the world, coercing them into degrading and harmful acts.
I explore how his crimes were uncovered, the international investigation that brought him down, and the devastating impact his actions had on those he targeted. It’s one of the most disturbing online abuse cases ever prosecuted in the UK.
