A Zurich influencer is facing trial on suspicion of multiple counts of rape. The documentary «Don’t be shy» by Tages-Anzeiger shows how women in the fashion and party scenes are systematically victimized.
A three-year investigation and exclusive video footage from an informant now reveal, for the first time in a 70-minute documentary, the system behind such abuse of power. And they shed light on why it is so difficult for the justice system to prosecute these crimes.

Travis the Creator wins the 2026 Zürcher Journalisten Preis.
«It is not merely an award-worthy piece of journalism — it is a vital exposé of a system that flourished in the shadows right in the heart of our city, behind the glittering facade of Zurich’s nightlife and fashion scenes. The investigation is courageous, precise, and — regrettably — urgently relevant.»
