Cheltenham High School Hazing Scandal: Coaches and Players Charged
Four former football coaches and six players at a Pennsylvania high school face criminal charges in connection with alleged locker room assaults on a teammate.
The charges allege that several members of the Cheltenham High School football team assaulted a then-15-year-old sophomore after two pre-season practices last year, and that the coaches kept quiet after the victim reported the second incident.
The grand jury indictment follows a lengthy investigation into hazing allegations in the football program, which first came to light last fall and led district officials to cancel the team's upcoming season.
