Cape Town – A video of a Bishops Diocesan College student allegedly raping another eighth grader has been circulating on social media this week.
In the video, a boy can be heard screaming while another boy, who filmed the video, laughs as the rape occurs.
The school said in a statement that they are aware of a video circulating on social media involving 15-year-olds from the school.
This incident is under urgent investigation, according to the statement.
“When the conduct of our students is inappropriate or constitutes a serious charge of misconduct, the school will not hesitate to act immediately,” the school said in the statement.
The statement said the school is taking immediate action to determine what happened.
However, Bishops said there is information suggesting that the allegations made on social media are incorrect and have the potential to cause harm especially to the children involved.
“We therefore urge everyone involved to treat social media complaints with caution and sensitivity until the truth and accuracy of the incident is determined.”
According to the school, the children and their parents are being communicated, and since the incident involves children and is under investigation at this time, it would be inappropriate to comment further.
In 2019, Bishop’s former teacher, Fiona Viotti, was reported to police for her alleged sexual misconduct with at least five students since 2013.
