An online campaign inviting users to post anonymous testimonies of sexual assault and harassment has been growing in popularity.
The collection of more than 4,100 testimonies include accounts from girls aged as young as nine.
The youngsters have written personal accounts of “rape culture”, identifying the school or university the alleged perpetrators attended.
Eton, St Paul’s and Latymer Upper School are among those referenced.
But while these and other private schools commonly appear, there are also examples given of unnamed males from state schools and universities.
The testimonies have been published on Everyone’s Invited website and its Instagram account.
