The prosecution wanted three months behind bars after the victim was sodomized with a broom handle in a locker room
The prosecution argued the teen should spend three months behind bars for what it called a “violent and humiliating” incident.
The defence argued the teen should receive a probationary sentence of two years with no jail time, like four others who pleaded guilty in the same incident. The sexual assault was captured on cellphone video and shared widely on social media before police launched an investigation, which sparked a national discussion on hazing in youth sports.No young person involved in the proceedings can be named due to provisions under the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
