An Ohio wrestling coach who had been accused of child endangerment and hazing turned himself into police on Friday, an official said.
Bart Freidenberg, 58, was wanted by police in the city of Franklin on charges of child endangerment and hazing, Franklin Police Chief Russ Whitman said in an email.
The charges were related to an alleged incident in June 2018 when the Ohio All-Star Wrestling Team, which Freidenberg coached, was renting school facilities in Franklin before leaving for a wrestling tour on the West Coast, police said Monday in a statement.
Ironically, this well-researched article on hazing by th eSyracuse daily Orange came out even as another death in New York had occurred upstate in Buffalo. See also the University of Buffalo Spectrum
