Example of mob getting out of control in the British army

An article in the Metro newspaper on the 6 April 2019 which can be viewed at https://metro.co.uk/2019/04/06/six-british-soldiers-arrested-sexually-assaulting-sleeping-army-girl-17-9124811/.

If this alleged assault is proven to be true then it would appear to be a case of a ring leader egging others on to commit despicable acts, a classic case of a mob in action. I hope for everyone involved and the British army the truth comes out and justice is done. Even if no sexual assault has not taken place the fact there may have been 6 other recruits in her room standing over her would constitute bullying and harassment at the very least. It may also be likely that one of the 6 knew what they were doing and the other 5 are only just realising what they were doing which would be typical of mob manipulation.
