Misogynistic content driving UK boys to hunt vulnerable girls on suicide forums

Exclusive: Police set up taskforce to tackle online violence as young men seek victims on eating disorder forums

Young men and boys fuelled by strongly misogynistic" online material are hunting for vulnerable women and girls to exploit on websites such as eating disorder and suicide forums, senior officers have said.

The threat from young males wanting to carry out serious harm is so serious that counter-terrorism officers are joining the National Crime Agency (NCA) in the hunt for them, fearing they could go on to attack or kill.
