Bad Host: Hunting the Couchsurfing Predator

This is the story of young women, unbeknownst to each other, who were all victims of a serving Italian police officer who lured them to stay with him using Couchsurfing, a website where travellers can find trustworthy hosts to put them up in their homes for free. Tracing each other through the internet, the women united and battled for six years, often in the face of indifference in their home countries, to bring him to justice.

More women come forward after being abused by the same man and one of them starts a Facebook group for survivors, hoping to bring him to justice.

As the predator is accused of raping a young girl, survivors across the world connect online and return to Italy to face him in court.
