Can I Tell You A Secret? details the story of the stalking and harassment of several women in the UK on social media, which escalated to text messages and phone calls, all perpetrated by one person. The stalker relentlessly terrorized these women by creating fake profiles, impersonating them, spreading rumors about them, and even contacting their friends and families and telling lies about them. These crimes weren’t fully investigated until one police officer took charge.
What were the reasons for this despicable behavior? Would the perpetrator be prosecuted for his crimes? The Netflix documentary features two episodes that tell the story through first-person accounts from the victims, the police officer who took on the case, and others. It shines a light on the dangers of social media and the evil ways people can use it.
