Seminole County, Fla. — Officials at Oviedo High School said they now plan to take action against several players involved in a reported locker room assault.
The parents of the alleged victim believe the high school and police are downplaying the significance of what happened by calling it "locker room shenanigans."
The incident, involves a freshman player who said he was the target of unwanted touching in the locker room before a practice.
"He put his forearm against my back and then he took his other hand and used his hand to stick his finger up my butt," the victim said.
Oviedo police are not pressing charges, but the victim's mother has chosen to move forward in filing charges.
The victim has also come across some harassment by his peers, according to his mother.
"Every time they see him, they say 'There is the snitch,'" said the victim's mother. "I warned him that he would likely have to deal with this, but also to stand tall and be proud that he came forward and he's the one that is going to help this come to an end at the school."
Under the school's code of conduct, if a student is found to be hazing another student, the district has the option of recommending in-school suspension, out-of school suspension or expulsion.
