How much do you know about the person you love?
Kirat is a successful radio presenter. On Facebook she meets Bobby, a handsome cardiologist. He’s a catch. Soon, they get tangled up in a love affair full of lies and manipulation. Then... Kirat discovers a deception of almost unimaginable proportions.
From Tortoise Media, Sweet Bobby is about how one woman’s life was destroyed by someone using more than 50 online personas to trick her. Over 10 years, Kirat’s life was stolen from her – her job, her chance to have a family, her sense of self. It’s a tale of death, private detectives and witness protection schemes – an epic deceit that is, still now, being unravelled.
Over six episodes, Alexi Mostrous traces the story of how Kirat was lured in; how she became controlled and dominated by her catfisher; and how she eventually discovered the unbelievable truth. He names the perpetrator - who works in a senior position at a British financial institution - and tries to get answers about why they did it. As he follows Kirat’s quest for justice, Alexi asks serious questions about whether the law needs to change to handle serious catfishing cases - and to better reflect how we now live our lives online.
