SHOCKING: 645 rapes have been reported in UK schools

It also says that police have investigated 645 alleged rapes in Britain’s schools over the past three years.

The report reveals that there have been a total of 5,500 reported sex crimes in classrooms and playgrounds since 2012.


Police believe this is just the tip of the iceberg.

The vast majority of allegations, nearly 4,000, were physical sexual assaults while the remainder included offences such as making explicit images, exposure or voyeurism.

At least a fifth were offences carried out by other pupils and a quarter of victims, some 1,500 children, were under 13.

It is good news that more victims have the confidence to come forward and report abuse, although, while I cannot prove this, I believe more child abuse is taking place

In some cases the victims and suspects were as young as five.

Every police force in the UK responded to a Freedom of Information request from BBC Radio 5’s 5 live Investigates which asked how many sexual offences were recorded at schools during the past three academic years.

In the programme, to be broadcast today, one girl tells how she was sexually assaulted in a school storeroom while a teenage boy recalls how three male friends attacked him in a classroom.

Police believe the problem is even worse.
