High School Football Players Sexually Assaulted Younger Teens For A Hazing Ritual, Parents Allege In A Lawsuit.
Parents of two teenage boys have filed a lawsuit alleging that varsity football players sexually assaulted their sons in a hazing tradition known as "Code Blue" that was so violent a broomstick broke during the attack.
The lawsuit filed Monday also alleges that coaches at Plainfield Central High School in suburban Chicago knew about the hazing tradition, which involved older players pinning first-year teammates to the ground and sexually assaulting them with a broomstick.
