'Forced to rape each other': Welsh Guards face torment during initiation ceremony

London: In a shocking revelation, two soldiers of the Welsh Guards unit were forced to rape each other during the initiation ceremony of the Household Division regiment of the army in the UK.

According to a report in the Independent, two soldiers were forced to rape each other during the initiation ceremony at the army training centre at Pirbright in Surrey.

Describing their torment, a source said that the soldiers had just finished their seven-month training, after which they returned to Pirbright for ceremonial initiation and posting at Tower of London.

The act was recorded by other soldiers and seniors on camera and was then shared among everyone via WhatsApp and SnapChat.

A witness to this incident said that the seniors forced the soldiers to engage in sexual act, adding that 'the seniors should be jailed for this.'

The source also said that one of the bullied soldiers had to be discharged from the army after suffering severe mental trauma.

The Ministry of Defence has denied the claim that the incident took place during "initiation ceremony."

"We can confirm an incident did take place and details were referred to the Royal Military Police for an initial investigation. No allegations of coercive or criminal behaviour were made,” the Ministry was quoted as saying.
