There are cases of rape or sexual assault by coworkers, or by one coworker, or by managers, but cases with multiple coworkers as perpetrators inside the work environment are extremely rare or underreported.
Here are some related cases — and where they fall short (don’t match exactly your criteria) — plus what I found, to help you see what information is out there.
Relevant Cases & Details
- UK — CBI (Confederation of British Industry) allegations
- A woman alleged she was raped by two male colleagues while working in an overseas office of the CBI. The Guardian
- According to her account, after drinking with colleagues, she woke up not remembering consenting, found physical evidence, and believed two coworkers were present. The Guardian
- The culture of the organization, and lack of support structures, were cited as enabling or contributing factors. The Guardian
- But: There is no indication in the public reports that the coworkers were ‘‘co-perpetrating’’ in a premeditated gang rape scenario at the office — some involvement is alleged, but much is vague. It’s also not clear if legal charges were filed, or what the outcome is. The Guardian
- UK — Met Police officer accused of raping two colleagues
- A Metropolitan Police officer was investigated for allegations of rape of two female colleagues. BBC+1
- The two women accused him separately (not necessarily together) of nonconsensual sex. Telegraph
- No trial (in those articles) or clear resolution was reported in terms of criminal convictions. Telegraph+1
- UK — Essex officer accused, no further action taken
- An officer was accused of raping two female colleagues. Sky News
- The police force said that they took no further action due to a “no realistic prospect” of charges. Sky News
- So again, while multiple coworkers are involved (two victims), it is not the example of two coworkers jointly raping one coworker.
- US — U.S. Forest Service allegations
- A PBS NewHour investigation reported that three women said they were raped after-hours by co-workers or interagency firefighters while working for the Forest Service. PBS
- However, it’s somewhat unclear from the summary whether these rapes involved more than one coworker working together, or separate incidents (e.g. one coworker per incident) or after-hours non‑official events. PBS
- Canada — CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) allegations
- An officer (senior in rank) is alleged to have raped a female surveillance officer nine separate times in BC in 2019‑2020. CFJC Today Kamloops+2CityNews Toronto+2
- Another officer alleges the same man later sexually assaulted her. CityNews Toronto+1
- This is an example of repeated rape by a coworker (senior) but again, not multiple coworkers jointly. CFJC Today Kamloops+1
Why Examples with Multiple Coworkers Together Are Rare
Here are several reasons these kinds of cases are hard to find:
- Underreporting: Victims often do not report, especially when multiple coworkers are involved — due to fear, shame, retaliation.
- Media/legal filtering: Many cases are never reported in major outlets, or get suppressed, or don’t result in public legal records.
- Legal difficulty of proving joint participation: Proving that multiple coworkers collaborated in committing rape (e.g. that each had a role knowingly, etc.) is challenging. That might lead to fewer cases for which evidence is sufficient.
- Definitions and context: Sometimes what gets reported is “sexual harassment,” “assault,” or “abuse,” rather than rape; sometimes it’s unclear whether multiple people were involved simultaneously.
- Privacy, anonymity: Victims tend to remain anonymous; legal settlements or internal investigations may not fully disclose all facts.
