Prosecutors Investigate More Students in Mepham High School Scandal
http://abcnews.go.com/sections/GMA/US/high_school_hazing_031120.html

<snip>

Prosecutors are considering charges against at least two more upper-classmen at Mepham High School on Long Island, stemming from a hazing incident where younger students were allegedly sexually assaulted, ABCNEWS affiliate WABC in New York reported.



The investigation is still ongoing. There were no details on exactly what the charges would be, but it is believed they would be charged as juveniles if prosecutors proceeded.

The incidents allegedly occurred in late August when Mepham High School's varsity and junior varsity football teams went to a four-day training camp in Pennsylvania, more than 100 miles from Bellmore, a suburban Long Island community. Prosecutors say by the time it was over, some varsity players had taken hazing of junior varsity players to an unconscionable level.

The accused players, two 16-year-olds and one 17-year-old, allegedly sodomized three younger boys with a broomstick, pine cones and golf balls.
