60 Minutes’ ongoing investigation into the sordid world of university hazing has uncovered almost 200 explicit photos and videos documenting the toxic culture that exists inside one of Australia’s most prestigious university residential colleges.

The damning evidence documenting allegations of sexual assault, bullying and abuse was sent to the 60 Minutes team following their original investigation into hazing rituals forced upon first year university students.

“F for Fail” airs tonight on 60 Minutes after The Voice. For more on 60 Minutes head to 9Now.

The never-before-seen material – which includes video footage of a male student giving a female staff member a lap dance – provides greater insight into the toxic and misogynistic ethos of Australia’s elite colleges.

This week, reporter Allison Langdon’s investigation hears the testimonies of two more victims who are speaking out for the first time.

Until now, the two students who are former residents of the university college have been silenced by the fear of public retribution and widespread denial from fellow students and leaders.

These new allegations follow 60 Minutes’ earlier investigation which featured former St Mark’s College student, Aria Kirwan. In March she told 60 Minutes she’d dropped out of the University of Adelaide after being forced to participate in appalling hazing rituals.

The 18-year-old said she was pressured to join in on an explicit “sex-tour” as part of the bizarre initiation.

“There were people pretending to have sex on the table, dancing around in underwear,” Ms Kirwan said.

“They had porn playing on the TV, and guys that were butt naked walking around.”

Ms Kirwan also claimed she was pressured to undress in front of older male students.

After sharing her experience with the nation, Ms Kirwan was shockingly vilified by an onslaught of online abuse calling her “a liar” and her story “fake news”.

“It's a toxic culture, it's rotten to the core,” SRC president Matthew Boughey tells Langdon.

“People are angry, people are pissed off, people want to see actual change.”

60 Minutes will tonight take viewers inside one of Australia’s most revered colleges and reveal what really goes on behind its hallowed walls.
