Australian schools rocked by scandal after video of two teenagers having sex went viral online
School celebrations have been rocked by a sex scandal after a public incident involving two teenagers went viral on social media.
Explicit images, too graphic to publish, quickly spread on social media showing a man and woman having sex at a Schoolies event in Dunsborough, Western Australia.
The couple was filmed getting intimate against a metal barrier at a silent nightclub, run by the police and the state government.
The images show the couple in a very compromising position, under strong lights, while a group of event officials approach to separate them.
WA Police said security expelled the students from the event.
WA Premier Roger Cook later said that “these things happen from time to time in Leavers”, according to The West Australian.
“The information I have is that people were trying to supervise those children to make sure they were well behaved,” he said.
“They have done their exams. Are you ready for the party. We understand that.
“I understand that from time to time people’s energy rises a little. But we must also understand that there is appropriate behavior in these types of situations.”
The images were viewed by hundreds of thousands of people on social media before being deleted, but now dozens of people who left it (including some volunteers) are posting their reactions to the incident.
Several of the leavers posted videos of them visiting the scene of the “corner incident” on social media, while others seemed impressed by the couple’s brazen move.
Two security members even got in on the prank and filmed two distraught volunteers, one leaning against the fence, the other rocking in a fetal position on the grass, in the corner where the couple was caught.
However, despite the shock, memes and ridicule the pair endured, WA Liberal Leader Libby Mettam said the government had questions to answer.
“It is disappointing that this behavior could occur in what the state government has been promoting for months as a safe, well-controlled area in which teenagers can celebrate,” he said, according to the West Australian.
“I’m sure many parents will question whether security was adequate and I hope the Government will do the same.”
