Oh! Nigerian Lesbian In Oxford University Caught Having Sex At A Conference (See Photo)
Pictured above is a prominent student activist from Oxford University
who is resigning from her political posts and campaigns after admitting
she failed to obtain full consent before having sex at a conference
earlier this year.
Annie Teriba, a third-year student at Wadham college,
was the editor of No Heterox** – described as a zine for queer and
trans voices – as well as a racial equality officer and member of both
the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts committee and the NUS’s
black students’ committee, according to the independent Oxford
University newspaper Cherwell.
Teriba reportedly made the admission in a statement posted on her Facebook profile, which has since been deleted. She said she began a physical relationship with someone at the NUS black students’ conference in May, but was later told by the other person that the s*x had not been consensual.

But the Women’s Campaign, an autonomous political group within Oxford University Student Union (OUSU), said Teriba’s admission was “rife with apologist”. In a statement, it added:

Teriba wrote:
“This statement explains why I will be stepping down from political campaigning from now.
“At this year’s NUS black students’ conference, I had sex with someone. The other party later informed me that the s*x was not consensual. I failed to properly establish consent before every act. I apologize sincerely and profoundly for my actions.
Teriba also revealed that a similar incident occurred while she was under the influence of alcohol in a club in her first year of university, when she “touched somebody in a sexual manner without their consent”. She highlighted a number of steps she would be taking to show she was committed to transformation, including seeking help for alcohol consumption and from organizations that specifically deal with s*xual violence.“I should have taken sufficient steps to ensure that everything I did was consensual. I should have been more attentive to the person’s body language. In failing to clarify that the person consented to our entire encounter, I have caused serious irreparable harm.”
But the Women’s Campaign, an autonomous political group within Oxford University Student Union (OUSU), said Teriba’s admission was “rife with apologist”. In a statement, it added:
Lucy Delaney, OUSU’s vice-president for women, said:“Sexual assault is one of the most underreported crimes, especially at universities. Holding those responsible for s*xual violence accountable means acknowledging the terrifying fact that violence against women is deeply ingrained in and normalized in our culture: education about the issues, campaigning for the rights of those affected, and continued vigilance about the behavior we do not condone in our organization is the only way forward.”
“In a society which silences survivors and which tolerates rape apologism it is essential that liberation spaces do not harbour or protect abusers, otherwise they are no better than the institutions which perpetuate oppression.”
