 There are also more extreme events, such as accounts of violence, for instance, when two freshmen from the University of Coimbra were assaulted by older students, which created a strong wave of criticism inside the Associação Académica de Coimbra.In another case, eight freshmen had to hide from a mob of older students to avoid being hurt (incident which later resulted in police intervention).There are also instances where sexual acts are simulated between older students and freshmen, the older students taking the form of the active participant.
