Boys Will Be Boys : power patriarchy and the toxic bonds of mateship – Book

In 2002, the Cronulla Sharks (a rugby league team from New South Wales) was involved in an alleged sexual assault involving a nineteen-year old woman in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The woman (later given the pseudonym ‘Clare’ in the Four Corners investigative report ‘Code of Silence’ about sexual assault in Australian football codes, aired on 11 May 2009 (and tell me, why is it that the public broadcaster repeatedly appears better at prosecuting rapists than the Office for Public Prosecutions?)) went into a hotel room with two of the Cronulla rugby players, only to have a further twelve (a mixture of players and team staff members) come in afterward.

Six of the men had sex with her. Others just watched and masturbated. Clare told Four Corners that her eyes were shut for most of it but ‘when I opened my eyes there was just a long line at the end of the bed’.
