Is There Hazing In High School? Students Arrested In Texas – BY
In a small town in Texas outside of San Antonio, 13 high school student athletes — seven juveniles and six 18-year-olds — were arrested for allegedly hazing students in the locker rooms, local news sources reported Wednesday. The violent hazing, which included sodomy and sexual assault with soda cans, Gatorade bottles and flashlights were committed by male athletes across several athletic programs at La Vernia High School. One incident included the hazing of a 16-year-old teammate with the threaded end of a carbon dioxide tank as part of “initiation” into the varsity football team.
The case has up to 10 victims, according to local officials. The case was given to The Texas Rangers earlier this month to assure neutrality, since many local authorities knew the victims involved.
A federal lawsuit issued Tuesday claimed coaches and high school representatives knew about the hazing that occurred and allowed it to persist. Hazing rituals were part of the school’s football team and school culture for at least 10 years, the suit said.
