Police are 'assessing' a Patreon account allowing paying subscribers to access videos sexualising women on the streets of Manchester city centre after an M.E.N investigation.
Videos posted for subscribers paying £13 per month and seen by the Manchester Evening News zoom in on women's chests and bottoms as they walk, unaware they are being filmed.
