During the day, two more suspected victims were added to the investigation, according to documents from the district court. This means that a total of five people have been named as plaintiffs in the case so far.
Three people are in custody on suspicion of assault and unlawful coercion, among other charges. Two of them are also suspected of aggravated sexual assault.
According to media reports, the events at the school took place during a “zeroing” - an initiation rite for new students - that got out of hand. But that is not true, prosecutor Lisa dos Santos tells TT.
"That is nothing that has emerged from the investigation. I believe that a zeroing is a ritual for those starting high school, but this has rather occurred within a more ongoing system where you control and punish," says dos Santos.
Two students at the school are in custody on suspicion of aggravated sexual assault, aggravated unlawful coercion, unlawful threats and aggravated assault on one occasion between October 1 and 2.
A third student in custody is being investigated on suspicion of assault and unlawful coercion of a normal degree on several occasions during August, September and October.
