Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
Five former members of an Virginia high school swim team are accused of imprisoning teammates and penetrating them with foreign objects as part of a horrible hazing ritual. Now they're facing sex crime charges. They face charges of sexual crime, battery and false imprisonment for allegedly locking their then-teammates at a Virginia, high school in a locker room and a bus and "forcibly penetrating" them. Says the prosecutor on the case, "Hazing is an inadequate term since it wasn't a once-and-done kind of thing but an over-and-over kind of thing, with one victim experiencing it multiple times." But really, even "once-and-done" forcible penetration wouldn't have been okay.
Four former teammates of the accused made the initial allegations last month, but now more are speaking out. Says Fairfax Police Captain, "Now that everything is out, more victims are coming forward because they realize they are not alone and they don't need to be afraid or embarrassed." It's sad that any of them had to feel that way in the first place, especially since a quarter of high-school athletes have been victims of dangerous hazing. Hopefully by coming forward, the students have lessened some of the stigma these victims feel.
As somone who played sports in high school, We taunted each other and no one was immune but never did I think it would be fun to shove someting up my teamates behind. I'm at a loss for why someone would think this was fun.
I don't understand the mentality that this kind of thing might be okay. Do some teens really think that this kind of thing is just a joke? or are they maybe just covering up for the fact that they're really fucked up human beings?
