Male students kiss and grope unwilling female classmate in China -- while other guys watch

A shocking video circulating online shows a group of middle school boys surrounding their female classmate and trying to kiss her one by one, as their peers watched on.

The clip, which has since gone viral, also appears to show the students grabbing the girl's genitals and buttocks.

Surrounded by the large group, the girl could only cover her face throughout the ordeal.

According to Shanghaiist, the incident reportedly took place at a middle school in Wuchuan county, Guangdong province after school let out on March 5.

Although the school said that they have already dealt with the matter, no further details have been divulged.

The local education bureau is also investigating the case, though one employee apparently told the media that the incident did not cause any harm to the girl, and that the students were just 'playing'.

Netizens have called for the boys to be punished severely.
