    Sierra Vista High hazer pleads not guilty

    Student in Sierra Vista Hazing Enters Denial Plea:

    The 17-year-old basketball player from Sierra Vista High School in Las Vegas, who is accused of giving a 14-year-old teammate an involuntary rectal exam, denied the charges against him in court yesterday. That was to be expected, but the request made by the defense attorney amazed me to no end…

    The suspect is suspended from school and on house arrest. His attorney says he’s a good prospect for a basketball scholarship and asked if the teenager could continue to play while waiting the outcome of the case.

    “If that happens there may be some tournament play,” Cremen said. “He would be accompanied at all times either by his grandfather, uncle both of whom are here today or his mother.”

    You’re kidding me, right? This kid is facing sexual assault charges and all he’s worried about is basketball. The “reasoning” behind the jock mentality never ceases to amaze me. But here’s what makes it worse…

    “There was an incident before the charges were filed in this case where the victim felt intimidated, Prosecutor Mary Brown said. “In the end District Judge William Voy allowed the 17-year-old to play again.

    “We need to keep the two separate,” Voy said. “Work it out ok.”

    The only condition is the two cannot be at the same gym or in a league where the two boys will play each other on the basketball court.

    Nothing like rewarding the suspect and punishing the victim.

  • Dr. Broom’s Empty Gesture

    Dr. Broom’s Empty Gesture

    Possible sanctions regarding McGill’s football forfeits put on hold:

    Earlier this week, I commended McGill University for canceling the remainder of its football season in the wake of the “Dr.Broom” hazing scandal. It turns out there were only two games left in their regular season.

    Not only that, but it’s also wreaking havoc on the schedules of other universities in their league.

    I realize that hindsight is 20/20 but looking back what they should have done was kicked the offenders off the team and let the rest of the players play out the remainder of the season.

    Looking back, that would have been even more punishment for the offenders to watch their teammates play as they sit the rest of the season out. But at least McGill took some actions instead of none at all.

    McGill won’t act until hazing investigation over:

    No real news out of McGill University in Canada. Just that the administration is saying that no further disciplinary action will be taken until their internal investigation is completed. What I found interesting was this quote from team captain Matt Connell…

    The captain of the McGill Redmen, quarterback Matt Connell, called the player’s allegation a “complete lie,” although he did say rookies were taken to the squash courts.

    Connell told the Montreal Gazette he feels it’s unfair to scapegoat one player.

    “(The initiation) was a team event, 98 per cent of the team was there and everyone was partaking. What we’ve been reading in the media has been one-sided, allegations from one individual, guarantee we’ve learned a hard lesson and have paid a big enough price already.”

    Connell said the headlines have taken a toll on the team.

    “Personally, I’ve been one of the people targeted and I haven’t been able to make one class this week,” he said.

    “I’ve been dealing with the press non-stop. It’s been difficult, but at least with football, it’s a few hours to clear our minds.”

    Saying that the rookies were taken to the squash court and nothing happened is kind of like Jeffrey Dahmer saying “I lured those men back to my house, but I have no idea how they ended up in my fridge.”

    And the allegations may be from one individual, but how many more over the years have been too afraid to come forward. I mean, we’ve already heard previously how the victim was even warned about “Dr. Broom”. And boo freakin’ hoo that you haven’t been able to make it to class. The poor rookie has dropped out of McGill because of what your team allegedly did.

    You know, I wonder if Mr. Connell had to endure any probing from Dr. Broom when he was a rookie.

    No Justice in Mepham

    Mepham Teens To Be Tried As Juveniles:

    This makes me absolutely ill. The karma train was derailed today when a Pennsylvania judge, Robert J. Conway, ruled that the three Mepham High football players who sodomized their younger teammates with pine cones, golf balls, and broomsticks, will not be tried as adults.

    This is sending a dangerous message to athletic programs across the country. It’s ok to forcibly sodomize your teammates. You won’t go to jail for it. 16 and 17 are old enough to know that when you put a pine cone in someone’s ass who doesn’t want it there, that it’s wrong.

    So these kids, after raping three younger teammates, will probably do no time and have their records wiped clean when they turn 18. This literally is a travesty of justice. To make matters worse, the cowardly judge issued a gag order so we may never know the reasons he had behind his idiotic decision. Once again, victims’ rights are thrown under the bus. Fuck you, Your Honor. Or should I say Your Dis-honor?

    (Still waiting for an athlete to come forward and defend sodomy as hazing)

    Threatening letter reported in hazing case:

    More from the Mepham front. A parent who spoke out about the pine cone sodomy hazing at Mepham high has received a letter threatening him with the same treatment if he does not stop speaking out about it. According to the article, his son is friends with the victims.

    Who the hell thinks high school football is all that important that they have to threaten violence against a guy who is standing up for three kids who had pine cones forced up their asses? Sounds like a parent depending on a scholarship to me.

    You know, it wouldn’t be an issue if those kids didn’t sodomize their younger teammates. God forbid anyone should be responsible, though. The article also states that if the sodomizers are tried as adults, they could face at least 20 years. Poetic justice if they see adult jail time. They have a lot more interesting things than pine cones in prison.

    I’m still waiting to hear from an athlete who thinks it’s ok to shove unwanted objects up someone’s ass to promote teamwork.
