It's being suggested police would be overwhelmed, if all rape allegations were reported

More than 400 students from Christchurch Girls' High School say they've been harassed.
At least 20 of them say they've been raped.
Youth health advocate, Dame Sue Bagshaw, says we'd be calling for more police if all rapes were reported.
She says it's sad they happen in the first place.
Bagshaw says we need to get the message across that unless you consent, it doesn't happen.
Canterbury police say any report of a sexual assault will be taken seriously.
