(CNN) — A Massachusetts teen accused of raping a fellow student at a summer sports camp pleaded not guilty Tuesday.
The young man, 17, is one of three high school junior varsity soccer players who authorities allege entered a cabin occupied by freshman students and assaulted three victims at a camp in western Massachusetts.
At Tuesday’s hearing, prosecutors said the three went into the freshman cabin searching for victims, using a broomstick to assault them.
In November of 2015, the young man was exonerated by testimony of the victims that he had no part in the hazing and in fact, tried to stop it.
