In March 2024, 26-year-old Alexander McCartney, from a rural town in Northern Ireland, admitted manslaughter of a 12-year-old girl who killed herself in 2018 after being a victim of his online abuse. They never met and she was one of many children McCartney befriended online and tricked into sending him compromising images. He then sexually exploited and blackmailed them.
Told from multiple perspectives, the major ‘catfishing’ child abuse investigation reveals how he became one of the world’s most prolific online predators and includes exclusive access to candid interviews with some of those who were exploited and abused by McCartney.
