Calls for Army college inquiry after reports of rape and abuse | UK News

The women, whose names have been changed to protect their identities, all attended AFC over the last five years.

One woman, Tilly, told the she was 17 when she was raped at AFC by several fellow soldiers who invited her into their room.

“They started taking my clothes off and then this led to them doing stuff I didn’t consent to.

“And then I was raped… by multiple junior soldiers, same age as me. It went on for hours. I felt like a piece of meat.”

Another woman’s story was shared with the by her mother, who said her daughter Amy was sexually assaulted and subjected to almost daily sexual harassment during her training.

Because the lock to Amy’s room was not working, her mother said “she found herself sleeping across the door to stop male soldiers coming in”.

Another woman, who said she was sexually assaulted and harassed at AFC, described how misogynistic attitudes and behaviour of AFC staff rubbed off on some of the male teenagers.

She recalled one of the instructors saying: “It’s all about the pussy and how much of it you can get.”

The MoD told the that the college “welcomes external scrutiny and challenge”.

It said that AFC had in the last year “hosted the safeguarding bodies, parliamentarians, the Children’s Commissioner’s office and the Armed Forces Commissioner, as well as receiving an outstanding report from Ofsted”.

Ashleigh Percival-Borley, a veteran who served for 13 years in the British Army as a sergeant and multi-disciplinary instructor, said “incidents like this have “really taken my confidence out of the institution and that makes me really sad”.

She told Radio 4’s Today programme there was a “level of frustration” from women who wanted to serve in the army.

She said hearing the allegations “sickened” her as a female veteran as well as a former instructor who knew “the embodiment of the army’s values and standards” needed for the role.

The Children’s Commissioner for England Dame Rachel de Souza said she would ensure the “appalling attacks” were investigated and “those responsible, including for failing to safeguard these girls, are held to account”.

She said all children living away from home had a right to contact her team for support, and that she would make sure all girls at AFC could do so.
