US here, but I figure it might be okay considering the typicality

In Jr high, a teacher got called to the office for something, and left the classroom.

Three boys began teasing one of the girls. Eventually, it turned into sexual bullying, like calling her slut, how she wanted to do things with them. Despite other students telling them to stop, it progressed to them groping her, which was when two students took off running. For whatever reason, they went to the office instead of the next occupied classroom.

Before any adults got word of what was happening and got there, the three boys had stripped the girl of her shirt and bra.

A small fight broke out when other boys finally stepped up, and that delayed things enough that adults got there before the fight ended, so nothing else happened to the girl. Like what happened wasn't bad enough, but the boys had been talking about escalating to rape.

This did not end well for the boys, though. All of them faced criminal charges and were convicted.

However, the girl's family decided that, once that was finished, they were going to move away. She had great parents, and they made sure she had access to therapy. Last I heard, she was doing well in life.

I was friends with her brother, and there were plans made should those boys not face legal consequences.

It was a much smaller town back then, so the scandal of it was huge. It actually ended up with some policy changes regarding how to handle things when a teacher needs to leave the room.
