SYNDNEY, AUSTRAILIA-- A group of former and current students from the University of Sydney created a “pro-rape” group on Facebook. The group was created under the sports and recreation section on Facebook. The group describe themselves as “anti-consent.” The group’s page was taken down in October but had been up and running since August.

It’s disappointing to hear there are actually young people bold enough to display these feelings towards rape. Facebok allows users to stay connected and inform people throughout the world, but is this taking that concept to the extreme?

This year we’ve learned about a 15-year-old being raped, beaten, robbed by as many as 10 people while more than a dozen other watched and captured the raped on their phone—without calling 911.

I’m not sure what part of rape is intriguing to those students but it’s definitely something it requires some kind of therapy.
