Pendleton, N.Y. (WBEN) - Niagara County Sheriff's deputies report charges are being filed in allegations of misconduct by members of Starpoint High School's wrestling team.

Listen to WBEN Now!

Deputies say the incidents happened in January of this year. They say following a thorough investigation by the Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Bureau, two 17-year-old juvenile Starpoint students were each charged with one count of Harassment in the Second Degree from an incident which occurred at a private residence on Townline Road in the Town of Wheatfield.

Additionally, further Harassment charges in the Second Degree are pending for the same two juvenile students in the Town of Pendleton stemming from allegations, which occurred on the Starpoint School District property.

The names of the juveniles will not be released because of their ages.

The allegation led to the cancellation of the Starpoint wrestling season back in February.
