Student slams short skirt, make-up and selfie rules in 'porn ring' school

A high school student attending a school named in a recent "pornography ring" scandal has hit back at her school's short skirt ban in a passionate online video.

Fifteen-year-old Faith Sobotker attends Kambrya College in Melbourne, Australia, where it's alleged girls were told to cease wearing short skirts to "protect their integrity," as well as to stop wearing make-up and refrain from sending "sexy selfies."

In a clip recorded on her friend's phone and shared by Fairfax Media, Sobotker responds by saying "My self respect is doing what makes me happy," adding "You can't tell me what ladylike is because we don't live in the '50s any more. I am looking for equality.

"I am 15 years old. You do not get to sexualise me like that, you do not get to tell me that my body is sacred, because it isn't."

Catherine Manning, a concerned mother of another student, accused the school of slut-shaming the girls by calling an assembly to discuss their appearance.

The meeting was held after students at the school were found to be victims of the online "porn ring," reported in News.com.au, on which young men shared and traded non-consensual nude images of young girls.

"Instead of laying blame directly where it falls -- with the perpetrators -- it seems [my daughter's] school decided the best line of defence was to haul the girls into a meeting and not just police their appearance, but thoroughly insult and denigrate them," she said in a Facebook post.

Kambrya College has been approached by Mashable Australia for comment.

The website, which has been called grossly abusive, has since been taken down by authorities and investigations are ongoing.
