Another example: HS hazers get slap on wrist
 
(I suppose OH is a state with a strong anti-hazing law, but when prosecution time comes, it goes limp. This is from www.badjocks.com)

The justice system is brutal in Warren, Ohio! Ray Crawford, a former wrestler at Howland High wrestler was sentenced last week for his role in a nasty hazing incident back in November of 2004. As you may recall, Crawford and another older wrestler were accused of holding a freshman teammate down--while they were naked--and then proceeding to take a turns rubbing their private areas on the kid's forehead. For his trouble, Crawford was fined a whopping $100 and will serving a whole two days confinement in a local work-release program. The other attacker got off even easier: he gets to take part in a "diversion" program and if he can keep from using his penis as a weapon for a year the incident will be wiped from his record. Surprisingly, the parents of the victim are working on a civil lawsuit against the school district, the wrestling coach and the two attackers. They claim the school failed to vigorously enforce a policy prohibiting hazing. To this day, Howland High School officials have not acknowledged the incident.

Lots of jocks in Warren. Kind of a blue collar town as I recall. They probably figure, "No harm, no foul."

Of course what they consider "harm" might be debatable.

My old high school plays Warren, typical dickheaded boys.

Wrestlers do stupid things to the new guys. I wrestled in H.S. and stupid things went on then also, even though that was just a few years ago. Those kids should have recieved a harder punishment.
