Degrees of Abuse – Harriet’s Oxford Story | Al Jazeera Investigations

When an Oxford PhD student, Harriet, complained that she'd been sexually assaulted by a fellow student she expected Balliol College to investigate. However Harriet then discovered Balliol is one of several colleges at Oxford University to have a clause in their policy which meant they didn't have to investigate her complaint. Harriet also claims the college put the emphasis on her behaviour, not the student she says assaulted her.
