Another story about alleged hazing and “sexual beatings” within a high school football program is surfacing, this time in California.
The Daily Press in Victorville is reporting that attorney John Manley has filed a complaint against Oak Hills High School, the Hesperia School District and its head football coach Robert Kistner, an assistant coach and a former volunteer coach on behalf of parents of a student who is said to have endured hazing rituals of a sexual nature while he was on the school’s football team.
According to the story — The complaints also allege that supervisors and coaches refused to acknowledge the activity and were “negligent,” even “encouraging, tolerating and sanctioning” the behavior.
Last year, Sayreville War Memorial High School in New Jersey and Central Bucks High School in Pennsylvania shut-down their programs for the remainder of the 2014 season after hazing was uncovered within both programs. Both teams have fired their coaches and the programs will resume for the 2015 season.
