That must have been a very serious assault.
The team needed to be immediately removed and an investigation made as to what other assaults had been taking place.
Vlad (the Impaler, not Putin) knew what to do with people like the assailants.
:: charged with aggravated rape ::
And the English language dies ANOTHER death.
It ain’t “rape” in any form...
By the description, the charge ^should^ have been “aggravated assault and sodomy by device”.
Is this homosexual rape?
Wouldn’t the hospital protocols dictate that LE get involved once a person in this condition came in?
My kids will never set foot in a public school. This is yet one more reason why.
I wonder who the victim was?
But coaches never reported the Dec. 21 incident to local authorities or child services, according to investigators.
These two sentances seem to be in conflict. How did the assailants get arrested if it was not reported to the authorities? The victim was taken to the hospital for medical care. Was 911 called for an ambulance?
The only way I can see the situation where the coach didnt report anything would be for him to drive the victim to the hospital, do a no name drop off. Is this what happened?
The article seems to raise more questions than answers.
Maybe I’m getting old but I recall the only hazing that ever took place was that a guy was given a “swirlie” and yuck, occasionally a “dirty swirlie”.
But my god, it never went much further than that.
This is sicker than sick. This wasn’t “horseplay”. It was rape. It was assault and worse yet, the coaches just turned a blind eye to it.
I hate to become part of what a local talk show host refers to as “Lynch Mob Nation” but heads definitely have to roll on this one - and that includes the students. Minors or not, they had to have a clue about what they were doing.
So who arrested and charged them?
And would it not be the job of the police to report the incident for which they arrested three people to child services?
“But coaches never reported the Dec. 21 incident to local authorities or child services, according to investigators. “
My first thought was back to Penn State
“Hamilton County Schools Superintendent Rick Smith asked for a BUYOUT of his CONTRACT Thursday, according to the Associated Press, citing a desire to step down so his school district can move on from the controversy.”
He should simply be fired w/o any further compensation. He’ll find work immediately elsewhere, because School Administrators are this country’s highest-paid migrant workers. They are akin to illegal aliens moving from “farm to farm (that’s really district to district) picking on unsuspecting school boards” that are more than likely staffed with local idiots who have no clue about education. When our children were in public school more than 20 years ago, my wife and I ( as PTC presidents) were actually threatened by the superintendent because we wanted to do something with our funds that he didn’t like.
“...Superintendent Rick Smith asked for a buyout of his contract...”
Buyout my butt. Adjoining cells with the three charged athletic officials maybe.
I don’t get it. It says “assailants were arrested” and “never reported the Dec. 21 incident to local authorities”.
By definition is the assailants were arrested doesn’t that mean that the local authorities were notified?
By the way - Washington Post is late to the party. FR had the story last year:
