Guilty pleas in St. Michael’s hazing: Canada

October 4, 2019 By Hank Nuwer Leave a Comment

Here is the link and excerpt

TORONTO — Three former students of a prestigious Toronto private school pleaded guilty Thursday in a sex assault scandal that rocked the all-boys Catholic institution last year.

The teens, who attended St. Michael’s College School, each pleaded guilty to one count of sex assault with a weapon and one count of assault with a weapon. One of them also pleaded guilty to making child pornography.

Crown attorney Erin McNamara read out an agreed statement of facts in youth court, saying a member of one of the football teams walked into the locker room after practice on Oct. 17, 2018, and heard a “roar” of teammates chanting “eh.”

The teen tried to run, she said, but “a mob … took him down.”

CAUTION: Graphic content may disturb some readers.

Three teens held their teammate and pulled his pants down, while another smacked him on the buttocks with his hand. Then one teen sexually assaulted him with a broom handle while another teammate captured the incident on video, which was later deleted at the request of the victim.

On Nov. 7, a similar incident occurred after a game once the coaches had left the locker room, the Crown said.

In that incident, another teen — who was not on the football team — came into the locker room looking for a ride home.

“Get him,” one of the players yelled, according to the statement of facts, then three took the victim to the ground and held him as two others ripped off his clothes and flipped him over on to his stomach.

Hank Nuwer 2009 Interview with Education World

https://www.educationworld.com/a_issues/chat/chat026.shtml     Education World: Your book, High School Hazing: When Rites Become Wrongs, discusses the causes and consequences of hazing at all levels of society. The message, however, is directed toward high school students. Why target high school hazing? Doesn’t most hazing — especially dangerous hazing — take place in colleges?
