To a group of women from around the world who had come to vacation near Venice, Italy, he seemed like the perfect host. He had all the right online reviews, and was even a police officer. But when the lights went down this sexual predator drugged and assaulted his guests. Across continents and years, these fearless women found each other to bring him to justice. Together, with a relentless team of Italian journalists, they faced down every obstacle thrown at them and triggered an unprecedented trial in Italian court. Hosted by investigative reporter Natasha Del Toro, this ten-episode, immersive true crime series examines the trust we place in the sharing economy and the power that a simple checkmark or digital review can hold over our lives. Verified premieres on February 24th, wherever you find podcasts. Support the show: https://www.stitcher.com/premium

He’s a wealthy beauty entrepreneur with his own range of toiletries.
Girl meets boy. Boy meets girl. They kiss and fall in love. Roll credits.
