The petition includes allegations from girls who were as young as 13 at time of the assaults.  The disturbing testimonies -- from some victims who say the anonymous forum is the first time they have revealed their experiences -- have been submitted mostly by students who graduated from private schools over the past decade.

Students from Scots College, Cranbrook, Sydney Grammar, Waverley College, Kambala, Kincoppal-Rose Bay, Monte Sant Angelo and Pymble Ladies' College are repeatedly mentioned in the testimonies.

Students describe situations in which school-aged boys forced female peers to perform oral sex and other acts on them without consent, while others recount feelings of shame after being raped while unconscious.

Hey Fnord, why are you taking a sudden interest in the underbelly of Australia?
