Her allegations come after a series of claims published in the Otago student magazine, Critic, from women who say there is a toxic culture at Knox College and sexual assault and harassment are not taken seriously. Olivia Montgomery said that on her second day at Knox College, the man in the room next door burst into her room at 2am and offered her oral sex. A few weeks later she said she was raped in her room by an Otago student and former Knox resident. Two complaints she made about the aggressive behaviour were not treated seriously and that's why she didn't report the rape, she said. Ms Montgomery said she dropped out of university and suffered long-term effects, including depression and panic attacks after her experiences at Knox.
