Rye High School Students Charged In Alleged Hazing Incident
RYE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- Three Rye High School juniors have been charged in a hazing incident.
Police said several eighth graders were forced into a car and then driven to a wooded area on Friday. That's where investigators said they were paddled with a large piece of lumber, causing bruising and other injuries.
In a statement Monday night, the Rye schools superintendent said: "Some have suggested that these alleged acts are part of an annual 'tradition' at Rye High School. Let me be clear: Just because a small handful of students choose to believe that this is the case, does not make it a fact."
The suspects were charged with hazing, assault and unlawful imprisonment.
