Women tell BBC of rape and abuse at Army teen college | BBC News
Four young women have told the BBC they were sexually assaulted and harassed at an army training college for teenagers – with one saying she was raped by several fellow junior soldiers in an attack that lasted hours.
The women all attended the Army Foundation College (AFC) at Harrogate, North Yorkshire, over the past five years and say the incidents happened when they were aged 17.
The BBC can also reveal that North Yorkshire Police received 16 reports of sexual offences linked to the college in the year to June, according to a Freedom of Information request.
Those reported offences include allegations of exposure, voyeurism and sexual assault. No information was provided as to whether they had led to prosecutions.
“Unacceptable and criminal behaviour has absolutely no place in our Armed Forces,” said the Army spokesperson.
“People join in the hope of having a fantastic career and any such reports are unacceptable and go completely against everything the Army stands for.”
AFC is the largest military training establishment for under-19s in the UK and it receives all the Army’s 16-year-old recruits. There are currently 70 female junior soldiers at the Harrogate site of a total of 889.

US President Donald Trump has asked Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) boss Dana White to be White House press secretary, in a social media post.
“Dana will be a Press Secretary like none other,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Dana, please take the job!”
It’s unclear whether the president’s public job offer is genuine. The BBC has asked the White House and UFC, along with its parent company TKO Group Holdings, for comment.
The vacancy for White House press secretary has been open since mid-October, when Katie Zacharia exited after just a few days on the job.

The Democrats have won a blowout victory in the US midterm elections, winning the Senate and the House of Representatives, taking control of Congress for the rest of Donald Trump’s presidency.
In the Senate race, Republican strongholds have been toppled by the Democrats in Texas, Ohio and Kansas, which last elected a Democrat almost 100 years ago.
Trump has congratulated the Democrats on a “good job” and acknowledged that gas prices hurt Republicans during the midterm races, saying people “didn’t like it” when they had to pay more for fuel.
The midterm elections happen mid-way through every 4-year presidential election cycle, giving Americans the chance to elect members of Congress, which is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Here is how the night unfolded.

Would you let AI walk around your home?
Meta has reportedly built a humanoid robot called Max and, if Mark Zuckerberg gets his way, this could be the next frontier for artificial intelligence. After years of AI living on our screens, Silicon Valley is now racing to give AI a body, one that can see, hear, move through the world and interact with people in real life.
This week on AI Decoded, we explore the growing race to put humanoid robots into our homes and workplaces. Joining us are John Hanke, founder of Niantic and CEO of Niantic Spatial, Ed Zitron, one of the technology industry’s most outspoken critics, and technology researcher and author Stephanie Hare.
Together, they unpack the technical challenges, commercial ambitions and ethical questions behind the push to bring AI into the physical world.
