L, 18, 2016 – 2017
A mature student on my course, who was part of my friendship group continually sexually harassed and groped/assaulted me.
He knew that I had severe anxiety and couldn’t speak or move properly when these things happened. I had explained this to him and repeatedly told him that I didn’t want any of the things he was doing.
He knew that I’d experienced something similar back in sixth form, and was still traumatised from it. He made every claim he could to deflect the blame for his advances.
That summer, one day, I ratted on both him and my abuser from college. I emailed staff at the uni, and told college staff when I visited on an open day.
