Franklin police say 58-year-old Bart Freidenberg turned himself in last week and was released after making his initial court appearance. Police say a 14-year-old boy was assaulted during the hazing last summer. They say it involved members of the Ohio All-Stars Wrestling Team, which includes wrestlers from Ohio, Indiana, and Pennsylvania who are in fifth grade through high school.
Freidenberg is a coach and tournament organizer from Pickerington. He and his lawyer, Mark Minister, aren't commenting on the case.
A pretrial conference in Freidenberg's case is scheduled May 21.
