An explicit video shared on social media of two high school 1st XV rugby players engaged in a sexual act has come to the attention of police. It stems from a celebration party involving 1st XV players from a South Island high school after a win over a rival college. During the alcohol-fuelled get-together at a private home, a sex act involving two boys was allegedly performed, The New Zealand Herald understands. But it's understood that the video later ended up being shared more widely online, including with a pupil from another school. Netsafe chief executive Martin Cocker says sharing the video could potentially result in people facing charges under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015.
