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.

There are up to 350,000 left behind children in Romania – children with parents living and working abroad – according to estimates provided by Save the Children Romania. In around 40% of cases, both parents have left to work abroad. EU migration laws allow Romanian adults to travel across Europe to find well-paid work – something that has become increasingly difficult to obtain in Romania. The children they leave behind, often living with grandparents, can suffer.

The US has carried out strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, US officials have told CBS, the BBC’s US partner.
The officials described the strikes as limited and defensive, and said they were in response to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) firing on a US aircraft.
Iranian state news agency Irna reported explosions on Qeshm on Monday. The IRGC did not comment but said its forces had shot down two US MQM-170 drones south of the island and a US MQ-9 drone east of the Strait of Hormuz.
The US military has not commented on the strikes, which came as mediators stepped up their efforts to prevent a return to all-out war after the US midterm elections on Tuesday.

Trillions of dollars have been wiped off the stock value of major tech firms in the US, Europe and Asia after the US midterm elections sparked concerns of a slowdown in artificial intelligence (AI) development.
Shares in firms across the tech sector plummeted following Democratic wins in Tuesday’s midterms.
A number of Democratic candidates had run campaigns on slowing AI development – and there are broader concerns about whether the huge sums being spent on the technology will pay off.
