Labour MP Stella Creasy has revealed she was threatened with gang rape while at Cambridge University.
Ms Creasy told GB News: "I'll never forget the night that I was in a room with them all and they threatened to gang rape me, let alone the posters that they put up around the college when I had the temerity to stand for a position in the student union, telling people not to vote for me because of who I'd slept with, and that happened at a Cambridge college.
"And, as I say, it took public humiliation, and posters, and finally other people coming forward, and me collating the evidence - of all the notes, the spitting in my room, the rubbish that was thrown at me, the sexual abuse and harassment if I tried to walk into the bar, that came from this group of young men."It was terrifying at the time, I'm terrified I'll ever run into those young men again.
Ms Creasy, a prominent campaigner for women's rights including fighting for maternity leave for MPs, has said the abuse will always affect her. Cambridge University apologised to Ms Creasy for her "horrific ordeal", and was expected to be in contact with the MP personally.
