Six medical students have been expelled from university after footage of them performing a group sex act went viral on social media.
The incident happened in April but the video only gained traction in the last week.
Male students from Santo Amaro University, also known as Unisa, in Brazil were seen watching a women’s volleyball game while sat with their trousers around their ankles.
After the team won the volleyball championship at São Camilo University, the group stormed the court and appeared to masturbate as a group, News.com.au reports.
Still with their trousers pulled down, the group were touching their genitals while other attendees looked on in disgust.
Santo Amaro University has now announced six students were expelled this week. They have not been named.
The school said in a statement: ‘Unisa, an institution with more than 55 years of history, vehemently repudiates this type of behaviour, completely antagonistic to its history and values.’
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was asked about the footage and the incident ahead of a UN meeting in New York.

He said: ‘A disgusting, unacceptable episode, the behaviour of young people who are at the university, who intend to be doctors and take care of people.
‘I vehemently repudiate what happened. It is unacceptable for future doctors to act with such disrespect for women and civility.’
The Brazilian Ministry of Women said incidents like this should be dealt with by the law. São Paulo Civil Police says it’s investigating.
A spokesperson for the women’s ministry said: ‘Breaking centuries of a misogynistic culture is a constant task that requires a careful look at all types of gender-based violence.
‘Attitudes like that of medical students at Unisa can never be normalised — they must be combatted with the rigor of the law.’
