The PSNI has faced criticism for a tweet that warned festive party goers to watch out for those trying to take advantage. Here's the words they used in that message: "if you bump into that special someone under the mistletoe tonight, remember that without consent it is rape. #Season'sGreetings". The police later deleted the tweet and apologised, saying that some may have taken it out of context. But in the wake of the Hollywood and Westminster allegations, are we now in the grip of "moral panic" about sex and relationships? Stephen got the views of commentators Ella Whelan and Emma Woolf.
