Women attending university in Aberdeen have been made the target of a secret Snapchat group, calling themselves “the Brohood”, which asks members to share indecent pictures of female students.
A message sent by the group to a male student, asking him to join, has sparked outrage after being shared online.
The invitation states: “Join the brohood. Men’s only 18+ secret group for the select few.
“Share, receive and enjoy the filthy girls of both Aberdeen universities with your fellow LADS.
“Don’t ruin the fun – keep it secret.”
The message also asked the recipient to “reply if interested” and instructed him to “respect the bro code”.
Both Aberdeen University and Robert Gordon University (RGU) have now taken action, with support being offered to anyone who believes they may have been targeted.
An Aberdeen University spokeswoman said: “The university strongly condemns the material that we have been made aware is circulating on social media.
“We would urge anyone who has been affected to get in touch with our Student Advice and Support team, where confidential professional advice and support is available in person, by phone or online.”
A spokesman for RGU said: “We have been made aware of this situation and will assist the authorities in any investigation.
“Respectfulness is key element of RGU’s culture and the university does not condone this behaviour.
“There are a number of support services available to any of our students who may have been affected.”
A police spokeswoman said that no crime had been reported to the force relating to the group.
