Channel 4 Dives ‘In Too Deep’ with Gritty New Crime Series
Channel 4 has launched a bold new digital strand, In Too Deep, sending a squad of fearless young journalists into the darkest corners of crime and exploitation. This hard-hitting series uses a mix of jaw-dropping footage and hidden camera stings to expose underground villains and shocking secrets you won’t see anywhere else.
First Film Shocks: ‘Selling My Virginity’
The flagship episode, “Selling My Virginity”, produced by Dare Pictures, follows presenter Daisy Maskell as she investigates the disturbing world of online virginity auctions. Viewers will witness men bidding hundreds of thousands of pounds to claim a young woman’s virginity, revealing a twisted and lucrative trade hidden online.
Daisy Maskell said, “With Channel 4’s incredible backing, I’ve made a provocative and immersive film. This issue is glamorised on social media as a ‘get rich quick’ scheme, and I fear many young people fall into it unaware of the consequences.”
