A 20 year old student at Oxford University has from resigned from her position in several on campus organizations after revealing that, on several occasions, she may have had sexual contact with people who did not give consent. Annie Teriba says she is going to seek help for her actions, as several people have talked to her about their sexual experiences with her, saying they were not consensual. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Do you think she did the right thing by exposing this? Did she do enough for people to forgive her? Let us know in the comments below.

“Last Friday, Annie Teriba, a prominent Oxford University student activist, announced she would resign from her various campus appointments after confessing that she had had sex without properly obtaining consent from her partner.

In a statement initially posted on Facebook, Teriba wrote that at a NUS Black Students’ Conference earlier this year, she failed to “properly establish consent before every act” and that she “should have been more attentive to the person’s body language.” Her behavior in this specific incident is not isolated, she continued, since she also once “touched somebody in a sexual manner” without their permission when she was drunk at a club.

The OUSU Women’s Campaign responded to Teriba’s admission with a statement, which mirrors Teriba’s careful language while condemning the substance of her statement (which, notably, did not label her own actions as rape).”
