Thousands of girls from some of Australia s top private schools have claimed they were sexually assaulted in a petition demanding students be taught about consent.
Among the disturbing accounts shared since Kambala School alumni Chanel Contos, 22, launched the petition on February 18, one horrifying theme emerges - most of their alleged rapists were their boyfriends or close male friends.
Many anonymously revealed they lost their virginity to their rapists - who went to elite Sydney boys schools including The King s School, St Ignatius College Riverview, and Cranbrook - while they slept, or were too drunk to consent.
One girl wrote that she was a 15-year-old virgin in 2016 when she met her first boyfriend who had a rape fetish , and assaulted her repeatedly throughout their relationship.

A young woman who started a petition that led to hundreds of schoolgirls speaking out about their teenage sexual assaults says schoolboys are so poorly educated about consent they barely even know what it is.
Dozens of harrowing claims emerged due to a petition demanding schools implement better sex education that teaches consent.
The petition, launched on Thursday by former Kambala student Chanel Contos, 22, prompted disturbing allegations against boys from prestigious private schools.
Ms Contos on Sunday said it was frustrating to think a male classmate who allegedly assaulted schoolgirls may not have even realised he did something wrong.
