Zara McDermott Instagram – I made a film about Stalking with Morning Live last week to discuss the new government measures that aim to give stalking victims more protection. They include measures designed to add layers of protection to those being stalked online anonymously. This is a huge issue, and one I am exploring as part of my bigger project for BBC3 which comes out this spring. However, it’s interesting to note that victims actually haven’t previously had a right to know who their stalker is, even if the police did. The new measures aim to empower police to release the stalkers identity to the victim at the earliest opportunity.
Stalking is a crime that can escalate quickly, from the online realms into the physical one. I was grateful to be able to meet the incredibly inspirational and brave Zoe as part of this special, to hear about her horrific experience with her stalker. Zoe- thank you for your strength in sharing your story. ❤️
The full film is available online now. My three part immersive documentary series about Stalking comes out this Spring. @bbcmorninglive | Posted on 04/Feb/2025 02:00:27
