High school students walk out following assault allegations on the football team

Students at a high school in the state of Washington left classes on Monday to protest the allegations which the football team was accused of.

Mead High School (Mead, Washington) has been immersed in the scandal for months now because of the investigation into the said conduct of the football team. Television news from the CBS affiliate in Washington, KREM, a summer overnight football camp on the campus of Eastern Washington was where the alleged attacks took place.

In a report from KREM in a few days of early May, the assaults began with some hazing, which went from the verbal and racial remarks all the way up to an assault or multiple assaults.

Police were not contacted until February is late.

Marcus Sweetser, who is standing for three of the cases that the complaints are about, in his statement to the Spokesman-Review, said that the long gap between the assaults and the filing of the incident with the police is the unacceptable thing.

“These incidents are totally not the ones that should have happened at all,” Sweetser said in a statement to the Spokesman-Review.

"Mead has given birth to a culture of hazing in the athletic programs of its institutions. "Sexual assault is a definite cause of the permanent psychological damage. Mead would have done the right thing last year if he had informed the parents about the incidents. The most awful thing Mead could do is to bury it and this will further the culture and expose all the students to danger. These incessent brutals were avoidable. The families of the victims are demanding that Mead should be brought to trial. ”
