BBC iPlayer Adds Harrowing True Crime Documentary 'Lover, Liar, Predator'

BBC iPlayer has quietly added a gripping true crime documentary, Lover, Liar, Predator, which has left viewers 'horrified all the way through'. The film follows four women who share their harrowing experiences with the same dangerous man, Aaron Swan.

The documentary, previously aired on BBC, is now available on iPlayer. It features Jenni, Natalie, Shannon and Robyn, who waive their anonymity to detail the coercive control and abuse they suffered. Swan, a serial predator and sex abuser, was twice placed on the sex offenders register before being brought to justice.

Viewers have taken to social media to praise the documentary. One TikTok user called it a 'must watch', adding: 'It is like insane... Please do check your trigger warnings because it was a tough watch.' Another commented: 'It was absolutely heartbreaking.'

The film also highlights how Swan's first wife helped later victims secure justice after being denied her own decades earlier. The documentary runs for one hour and 25 minutes and is described as 'shocking' and 'absolutely disgusting'.
