Shut down the annual charity ball "Presidents Club Dinner" + trial offenders.

What the petition asks
The event is a charity auction with such prizes like 'Dinner with Boris Johnson' or the head of bank of England. The problem with the event is that it is male only and all hostesses are required to wear 'skimpy black dresses with matching underwear' and is a completely unfathomable series of events.

The article above contains the information provided above, and includes several cases of sexual assault from the guests to the hostesses.
I feel it is only just to permeantly shut down the event and launch an investigation into the countless assaults on the hostesses, many of which are students and especially shouldn't be directly exposed to this level of villainy. I also feel they should receive compensation where due.
