University football club launches student chaperone service
Wales Online.
The sickening online trending topic saw 24 April labelled as a day where sexual assault would be legalised for 24 hours, with one post claiming that university students in Cardiff had created group chats with “hundreds of girls in them to be targeted”. While the so-called event was widely disproved as a hoax, police and universities issued warnings – with Cardiff University saying that they were “taking these matters seriously”. However, determined to do more to protect female students walking around Cathays at night, Cardiff University Football Club president and first team captain Ben Marett (22) decided to offer a chaperone service to anyone walking through the area on Saturday night.
