Unbelievable.

UCD are investigating reports that male students are sharing explicit sexual images of women they have slept with, and rating them on a Facebook page.

The page, which has over 200 male members, is reportedly largely made up of Agricultural Science students at the college.

According to the Campus newspaper, The College Tribunethis is the most recent “example of the continued prevalence of a harmful and derogatory “lad culture”” at UCD.

Just last year, there was controversy over a group titled “Girls I’d shift if I was tipsy” in which images of young women were shared without their consent.

Marcus O’Halloran, the UCD Students Union president, has said that anyone found guilty of breaching privacy or engaging in ‘revenge porn’ will be reported to the authorities.

A UCD spokesperson has said that a full investigation will be launched.
