Family of former Woburn football player Johnathan Coucelos suing city and school district over teammates' alleged attack
WOBURN - The family of a former Woburn Memorial High School football player who said his teammates assaulted him are now suing the city and the school district.
Johnathan Coucelos was a freshman on the football team when he said he was attacked and sexually assaulted by a group of his teammates in the locker room in 2021. The incident was recorded and posted on social media.

The family is now asking for $750,000 in damages, saying the school did not take appropriate action when Johnathan reported the incident.
Seven students were criminally charged in connection with the alleged attack.
