Overview

• Prime Video's Catching the Tinder Predator, out Sunday, features new testimony from women who say Harkins targeted them on dating apps.
• The film reports additional alleged frauds of roughly £53,000 that have not led to prosecutions.
• A woman identified as Shannon says she transferred £3,247 for a supposed romantic getaway, then found calls unanswered and no booking in place.
• Harkins is serving a 12-year sentence after his 2024 conviction on 19 offences, including rape and assault, and he admitted defrauding nine women of more than £200,000.
• Earlier complaints were often handled as civil disputes until a 2019 newspaper investigation by Catriona Stewart spurred a review, and Police Scotland now says the case produced a successful court result and that practices have improved.
