Yesterday, three students formally reported incidents and nine more have spoken with police and school counsellors, and are considering more formal reporting. The survey, released on Monday, uncovered 20 cases of rape, three of group rape and hundreds of examples of sexual harassment amongst the more than 700 students who took part. Although educating young people was a main priority to eradicate such disturbing behaviour - perpetrators within the survey were also adult men.
