Said The Sun’s source: “The footage had spread like wildfire. Video of the incident was then shared around by the victims’ fellow guardsmen via email, WhatsApp, SnapChat and Facebook. “They had no choice in what they were doing, it was bullying at its absolute worst.

“The two guys must both have been terrified. “It was totally out of control and the older and more senior guys were obviously ordering them to do what they did. What happens on the footage is disgusting. They were then allegedly forced to carry out sex acts on each other too disgusting to describe in detail. The Sun on Sunday understands the new recruits were ordered to strip and warned they would be mercilessly bullied if they did not.
