The mother of an eighth-grade wrestler filed a federal lawsuit Monday against Greater Latrobe Area School District, alleging it failed to protect her son after he was questioned about witnessing hazing and misconduct among the team and coaches.
According to the lawsuit, the boy identified only by initials and other members of the team were retaliated against by members of the football team after the hazing allegations became public.
In January 2020, the lawsuit said, the boy was questioned by school district personnel and police and was made to believe that several members of the team were providing statements.
