Yeah, gross. It’s been confirmed no scholar’s physique was penetrated, however that doesn’t make the scenario any much less horrifying and traumatic for these teenagers…
Several of the youngsters have been kicked off of the staff because of the video being leaked, and the top coach really resigned — however as extra movies surfaced of disturbing acts occurring inside the soccer staff, Hunter determined to cancel the season:
“The kind of hazing that occurred in our facilities with this team is reprehensible. It simply cannot and will not be tolerated. We know we must work to address the culture of this team, educate our student body about hazing, and put programs in place to help us ensure that this kind of atmosphere is never allowed to exist in our school facilities.”
After this, the movies have been reported to Lower Swatara Township Police Department to which investigations started. And now, as of Wednesday, District Attorney Francis T. Chardo introduced TEN college students had been charged:
“Two students, both seventeen years of age, have been charged with multiple counts of criminal attempt to commit involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, unlawful restraint, simple assault, and hazing.”
The different college students within the investigation have been charged with varied offenses from illegal restraint, easy assault, hazing, and violating hazing statute. Absolutely unbelievable!
There have been six reported victims, who stay unnamed, all from the ages of 14 to 17. There may very well be extra, although, as Chardo thinks a few of the youngsters are too afraid to return ahead:
“As many as six other students may have been assaulted but they have been reluctant to cooperate with the police.”
Just heartbreaking, these poor youngsters. They ought to by no means need to take care of one thing like this — particularly at college once they’re simply making an attempt to take pleasure in themselves on a sports activities staff!
The case stays open as investigation continues. Police are urging anybody with any data to name Dauphin County detectives at 717-780-6200.
Our hearts exit to the victims and their households. We’re sending them love and light-weight and hope they get justice.
