Police in Taft are investigating alleged hazing incidents involving the high school varsity football team.
According to a statement released by the Taft Union High School, in 2 incidents earlier this month, students were subjected to “unacceptable and embarrassing treatment by other players.”
According to the Bakersfield Californian, eight juvenile students have been cited for battery, sexual battery, and false imprisonment, in incidents in and around the locker room. This comes five years after another hazing episode involving the school’s volleyball team.
Neither the Taft Police Department nor the school district responded to Valley Public Radio’s request for comment.
