University of Manchester to investigate sexual harassment of female medical students

About 20 students report anonymous late-night phone calls from men who ‘intimidated, demeaned and belittled’ them

The University of Manchester has launched an investigation after about 20 female medical students complained of receiving anonymous phone calls in the middle of the night from male callers who intimidated and sexually harassed them.

The calls have been going on for at least three years, according to Charlotte Buttercase, a final-year medical student and one of those targeted.
