Sayreville football parent reveals sexual nature of alleged locker room hazing ritual (Exclusive) 8&9OKT14
THIS is why America suffers from a rape culture. Sexual violation of anyone is wrong, and knowing about it and not reporting it is wrong, so every player violated is a victim and everyone who was present and didn't try to stop it or at the least didn't report it is a perpetrator. Thank God for the brave parent who took action and spoke up. The school board was right to uphold the decision by the Superintendent of Schools Richard Labbe to cancel the rest of the football season for Sayreville. Coaches should be fired, players should be charged, and the parents of Sayreville need to do some soul searching about the kind of community they have been tolerating in their schools.
Sayreville football parent reveals sexual nature of alleged locker room hazing ritual (Exclusive)
It came without warning.
It would start with a howling noise from a senior football player at
Sayreville War Memorial High School, and then the locker room lights
were abruptly shut off.
In the darkness, a freshman football player would be pinned to the locker room floor, his arms and feet held down by multiple upperclassmen. Then, the victim would be lifted to his feet while a finger was forced into his rectum. Sometimes, the same finger was then shoved into the freshman player’s mouth.
This disturbing hazing within the storied Sayreville football program, as told to NJ Advance Media on Wednesday by the parent of a player in the program, happened almost every day in the locker room this fall, he said.
The allegations — revealed for the first time — provide details to the events that sparked a criminal investigation by local and county police, and prompted the cancellation of the remainder of the Sayreville football season this week by Superintendent of Schools Richard Labbe.
The parent, informed by his son and other parents close to the investigation, is the first to come forward to reveal the hazing practices Labbe has characterized as “incidences of harassment, intimidation and bullying as constituted by the definition within the anti-bullying statute that took place on a pervasive level, on a wide-scale level, and at a level in which the players knew, tolerated, and in general accepted.”
According to the parent, whose identity is being protected because the parent feared retribution against the family and the player, the routine was initiated when an upperclassman would enter the locker room and make a wolf call or howling noise.

“[For] 10 seconds, the lights would go off and they would grab a freshman and they would go on,” the parent said. “Right on the floor. … It was happening every day. They would get the freshmen.” He added: “Kids would just sit around and witness [stuff] like this.”
Detectives from the Middlesex County Prosecutors Office and the Sayreville Police Department are investigating the allegations, but officials have refused to reveal any specifics about the case. The parent said his son and several other Sayreville players have been questioned by police. No charges have been filed. The parent also said he is in the process of retaining an attorney.
“These parents here, they’re in shock,” the parent said. “We never expected anything like this to happen. Your kid, he’s going to school, school’s got to be a place where you think the kid is the safest.”
When told of the specific allegations over the phone Wednesday, Labbe declined to comment. He referred to his previous comments calling the allegations “very serious.”
The Middlesex County Prosecutor's Office declined comment on the allegations detailed by the Sayreville parent. Also, David Abromaitis, a detective in the office, declined comment Wednesday when reached by phone.
The parent said the “ringleaders” involved in the hazing are seniors.

Madeline Thillet, speaking at Tuesday night’s board of education meeting, said her son was one of the members of the team interviewed by investigators. She downplayed the hazing while protesting the cancellation of the season.
“I was at the police station with him when they were questioning him,” she said. “They were talking about a butt being grabbed. That’s about it. No one was hurt. No one died. I don’t understand why they’re being punished. I think that the forfeited game was punishment enough.”
The parent said he could not “understand how none of the coaches were aware of it. As a coach, you know what’s going on in your clubhouse. You know what’s going on in the locker room.”
On Oct. 1, Labbe said he was alerted to an anonymous allegation made to Sayreville police about a serious incident of inappropriate conduct —possibly more — by members of the football team. The next day, the matter was turned over to the Middlesex County prosecutor and Labbe canceled Sayreville’s football games — varsity, junior varsity and freshman contests — last weekend against rival South Brunswick.
Then, on Friday, in a separate incident, an attorney for assistant coach Charles Garcia said his client had resigned after details of his arrest for steroids possession surfaced.
On Monday, Labbe announced he was canceling the rest of the season.
The hazing allegations have turned Sayreville’s no frills, blue-collar community upside-down, as both local and national news vans and media reporters have descended on the town, scouring the streets and interviewing people in parking lots and strip malls.
Many Sayreville residents have expressed outrage over the cancellation of the football season. The varsity team, nicknamed the Bombers, has made the playoffs in each of the past 20 seasons, and Sayreville has captured three state championships over the past four years, feeding nearby Rutgers University with a host of elite players.
Sayreville longtime football coach George Najjar declined comment when reached by phone Wednesday.

More than a hundred Sayreville residents attended Tuesday night’s previously scheduled board of education meeting to urge the members to reconsider the decision to cancel the season. The crowd, at times, grew heated and animated, but the board affirmed the decision to end the football season.
Afterward, about a hundred people gathered under the lights on the football field, lingering for about 15 minutes, gazing across the impressive stadium, until it was time to go home.

Seriously?!?! STEUBENVILLE FOOTBALL COACH RENO SACCOCCIA GRANTED A NEW, TWO YEAR CONTRACT??? 24APR13
IF this happened in a Third World country people would make derisive comments because 'well it is the Third World and "those" people and what do you expect?'. But it isn't the Third World, it is Ohio, in America, and we expect better for our fellow citizens. Though we don't live in Steubenville we need to care about that community and what they have just been through, and so I hope you will join me in signing this petition demanding the Steubenville School Board fire Reno Saccoccia. He is not fit to be around children and should never be allowed to teach or coach children in any school ever again.
What the %$#&, Steubenville?!?
Since last year, Steubenville, Ohio football coach Reno Saccoccia has been embroiled in the horrible case of the high school football players who raped a 16-year old girl while she was unconscious. Publicly released texts from the now convicted football players indicate he knew about the rape and did nothing to report it--in fact it took two months for him to even suspend these boys from the team. During the trial, evidence showed that he might have even helped the boys cover it up. 1
So how does Steubenville respond? The school board in Steubenville, Ohio, just announced that they extended his contract for two more years.2
Seriously!?!? The Steubenville school board just sent the message to everyone in Steubenville--and in the country--that rape is not a crime that needs to be taken seriously.
Steubenville school board members all need to know: the world is still watching Steubenville, we’re still angry, and any coach who played a role delaying justice in this crime needs to be fired. Can you sign our petition? We’ll send it to the school board and to all the local press.
Sign the petition demanding that the Steubenville school board fire coach Saccoccia.
As one rape counselor explained in The Nation:3
Now, we all have to show them: the world is still watching. Shame on the entire Steubenville school board for allowing this to happen. They need to make it right by firing Reno Saccoccia now. Can you sign the petition?
Add your name.
Thanks for speaking out,

As one rape counselor explained in The Nation:3
"The school board chose to send a message.
That message was that the health and continuity of the football team is
more important than the health and safety of young women in that
community... I truly hope they come to their senses. We’re all
watching."
There’s been lots of outrage in the media about this decision
already. And after all the attention on the case earlier this year,
Steubenville police, school authorities, and Coach Saccoccia clearly
want to put this case behind them. But first, the school board has to
make it clear that nobody, especially well-respected school
employees who have a big influence over students and the entire
community, should be covering up the rape of a teenage girl.Now, we all have to show them: the world is still watching. Shame on the entire Steubenville school board for allowing this to happen. They need to make it right by firing Reno Saccoccia now. Can you sign the petition?

The Steubenville Gang Rape - A Timeline *Slight Update* 3JAN13
THIS makes me sick. I can not understand how a community could rally around those who raped this young woman, it shows low self esteem of Steubenville's women and the low mentality of Steubenville's "law enforcement and justice" communities. The football coach's comments are indefensible, but in that community probably typical. I hope the majority of the citizens in Steubenville are ashamed and outraged by this, but if they remain silent and allow the perpetrators get away with this then they are as guilty as those who committed this crime. We have seen the news reports about the Indian woman who was brutally raped in New Delhi, and who finally died from her injuries, and many no doubt have dismissed it as typical of "those people". Well, the people of Steubenville, Ohio are showing the world that we have too many of "those people" right here in the good old USA. From Daily Kos....
A timeline and presentation of the evidence of the Steubenville rape case.
Warning: Graphic descriptions and language ahead.
A timeline and presentation of the evidence of the Steubenville rape case.
Warning: Graphic descriptions and language ahead.
Let’s be clear about what’s happening in Steubenville, and what led up to it.
It was August 11th when an end-of-year celebration occurred in Steubenville, Ohio. The end of summer brought students from a number of nearby schools for a party that would end some of their high school careers, while others celebrated in one final fashion before the new semester began. What was intended to be a wild night of fun, with booze already illegally flowing in the hands of underage teenagers, quickly grew far more tragic than people could have anticipated.
On that night, one young woman was brutally violated. Her body was still, carried by her feet and hands. Word quickly spread of the night’s insidious turn. The evidence? A trail of twitter posts, youtube videos and Instagram photos painted a picture of rape. The young woman in question was from Weirton, West Virginia, not too far from Steubenville. Much of the evidence magically vanished, but some remained. When all the evidence was considered, it seemed she had gone unconscious, then sexually violated in a number of ways, included being urinated on and forcefully penetrated. At the end of the night she was deposited on the front steps of her parents’ home.
On August 22nd, Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richmond were arrested for the rape in question. Police accused the pair of carrying her between parties and violating her while she was in a state incapable of resisting.
The aftermath is nearly as tragic as the incident itself. The country prosecutor and judge charged with handling juvenile cases stepped away from the case. In a town as small as Steubenville, it is not unusual to hear they had close ties with the football team that Mays and Richmond belonged to. Though the sheriff asked for witnesses to step forward, no one seemed to want to.
Far worse were the active defenses of the football team in question. In a part of the country suffering economic difficulty, football can provide a bright light for a town to rally behind. It can also provide motivation for people to behave in ugly ways. The family in question received death threats for raising the rape accusations. Meanwhile, one Steubenville football coach, Nate Hubbard, said this: “The rape was just an excuse, I think. What else are you going to tell your parents when you come home drunk like that and after a night like that? She had to make up something. Now people are trying to blow up our football program because of it.” The sheriff involved with the case stated to a new crew that witnessing the crime but not reporting it was not illegal. This is false. Failing to report a crime is, itself, a crime.
With so much resistance to the rape accusations, how did the evidence begin coming to light? It’s related to the town’s resistance against the accusations. It took an online blogger, who accused the town of siding with the rapists, and even accusing the police department of favoritism, to begin moving the wheels of justice. Defamation lawsuits were filed against the blogger. As of this date, those lawsuits have been dropped, but the point of the resistance remains.
The evidence collected and presented were, in the eyes of law enforcement, not damning enough. This was when KnightSec, a hacktivist collective of Anonymous, stepped in. On January 1st they threatened to come forward with further information if those involved did not take responsibility. When no response came, a 12 minute video of those involved came out, in which one player incriminates himself by repeatedly referencing the girl as both “raped” and “dead”. They make various indications that they knew the girl had been raped. Both the individual on camera, as well as those talking around him, can be heard referencing to her as raped.
The same individual captured in the video posted this to their twitter the night of the incident:
And that a number of people were aware of it, far more than the few who came forward in the case, is made clear by other Tweets collected from that same night:
Prior to much of this evidence, several people involved claimed that they weren't sure it was rape, or that any force was used. Photos taken from the collectivist group produced this:
While Mays and Richmond have been accused, Nodianos' role in the rape case has gone overlooked. Additionally, charges against Cody Saltsman have been dropped. The photo directly above was posted by Saltsman, who claims he received the photo, but was not present at the time of the incident. On the other hand, he responded to Nodianos the night of the rape:
In a country where it seems the protection we afford women is often inconsistent, what's horrifying is that A.) A girl in that condition could be viewed as willing and that B.) People in the two have either refused to come forward or actively tried to suppress the truth of the rape case. Here is one member of the town blaming the victim:
And finally, to reinforce just how miserable members of society can behave, here we have this quote to reinforce how such attitudes are not only isolated, but wider spread than we would like to think. From a poster at deadspin:
YOU NEVER HAVE THE RIGHT TO RAPE SOMEONE.
