A hazing incident that came to light in March has now led to the arrest of six players on the Bridgeport High school varsity soccer team.
Reports say the players were taken into custody Wednesday. Bridgeport Police Chief Steve Stanford says they have evidence of incidents involving hazing of multiple underclassmen.
The incidents include removing the pants and undershorts of players, at least one as young as 14, while it was all being recorded on video.
Stanford says one victim "reported that while in an unclothed state, they were filmed and made to repeat phrases such as "I'm your b----." These incidents are believed to have occurred in the school locker room, on a school bus, and in a hotel room."
Five of the players are now at least 18 while the sixth is still underage and Stanford says he will be processed through the Wise County Juvenile Probation Department.
