The comedian Katherine Ryan has been in the news this week after she spoke out on a recent documentary with Louis Theroux about confronting a person she says, 鈥淚 believe very strongly, and so do a lot of people believe very strongly as an open secret, is a perpetrator of sexual assault鈥�. She says she called the person a predator to their face while making a TV show. She claims no one has managed to nail him down because he has 鈥渧ery good lawyers鈥�.

In the documentary she refuses to name the alleged sexual predator and she was called out on this on social media. But what is there to gain for women, if anything, who name sexual predators in this way?

In a discussion on 蜜芽传媒 Radio 4鈥檚 Woman鈥檚 Hour, presenter Anita Rani spoke to author Polly Vernon and Harriet Johnson, a barrister and author of the book Enough: The Violence Against Women and How To End It, about the legal minefield when it comes to naming a sexual predator.
