A leading feminist and gay rights activist at Oxford University has resigned from the students' union after she admitted having sex with someone without their consent.
Annie Teriba, 20, a third-year history and politics student at Wadham College, has been involved in a series of Left-wing campaigns and previously accused other students of promoting 'rape culture'.
However, she has quit a number of political and campaigning positions after admitting: 'I become segxwally entitled when I am drunk.'
In a self-flagellating open letter, which she posted online with a 'trigger warning', Miss Teriba said that she had had non-consensual sex at a National Union of Students conference for ethnic minority students, where she was elected the lesbian rights representative.
She wrote: 'I failed to properly establish consent before every act. I apologise sincerely and profoundly for my actions. 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.'
Miss Teriba also revealed that on another occasion, she had 'touched somebody in a segxwal manner without their consent' when she was drunk in a nightclub.
She added: 'It is clear that I lack self-awareness and become segxwally entitled when I am drunk.'
She announced that she was leaving a string of high-profile campaigning positions - as 'people of colour and racial equality officer' at Wadham, a member of the NUS black students' committee and a leading figure of the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts.
The student, who was a star debater at her East London school, also quit as editor of No HeterOx, a magazine 'for Oxford's queer and trans voices'.
Miss Teriba made a string of pledges in her open letter - including a vow to stay away from the NUS because she threatened the safety of other students, and a promise to 'read zines and other material' to teach herself about segxwal consent.
