A TEENAGER was brutally raped by a gang of boys who filmed the scene on their mobile phones, then sent the footage to school friends, police said yesterday.
Five boys have been charged with aggravated sexual assault of the 17-year-old girl, and distributing a video of the attack.
For Lorraine Corne, a Sydney clinical psychologist, the seeds of that answer might be found on our televisions.
“The first thing that occurs to me is that in our society we allow people to be videoed in all sorts of degrading ways,” she said.
“For example, in Big Brother, in internet porn and in Funniest Home Videos. In all of these there is humiliation. And there are no boundaries.”
