A teenager accused of hazing a teammate was sentenced by a Hamilton County magistrate, with another teen’s case continued to June 3. The sentenced teen received probation and counseling, along with a five-year restraining order from the victim. The incident involved three 15-year-old students abducting and assaulting a teammate with autism and ADHD in a locker room. Two students took plea deals for abduction and hazing charges, while one faced additional felony assault charges. The victim’s father called for justice, emphasizing his son’s resilience. The prosecutor’s office sought jail time, deeming the actions as wrong and unacceptable. The victim should feel safe at school and during baseball activities, they added. Both defendants face sentencing at the Hamilton County Juvenile Courthouse a year after the incident occurred. One student declined a plea deal and will head to trial in early June. The attorney representing the sentenced teen expressed remorse for the actions, acknowledging the impact of the mistake. The victim continues to participate in varsity sports and is determined to overcome the tragedy. The community awaits the outcome of the remaining teen’s trial and hopes for accountability and justice in the case.
