A woman who was sexually harassed by her personal tutor has told 大象传媒 5 live that she faced a 鈥榖attle鈥� to complain about his conduct.

Rebecca Nice waived her right to anonymity to speak to 5 live鈥檚 Emma Barnett.

She said that she was sent a series of inappropriate messages, many about sex, by a course leader at Winchester University. He's now been investigated and her complaint of sexual harassment upheld.

Rebecca now urged universities to do more regarding sexual harassment claims. 鈥淚 think there鈥檚 a lot of fear around challenging colleagues and a fear of what that could do for the department.鈥�

Winchester University said that the tutor involved had been disciplined, and added: 鈥淐omplaints about sexual harassment are extremely rare in this institution. We remain confident in the professional and supportive service our staff provide to our students.鈥�
