Idaho HS players charged in rape

When a teammate held out his arms after football practice in their high school locker-room, the boy thought he was about to get a hug. Instead, he got viciously raped, authorities say. As the teammate restrained the boy, another football player allegedly thrust a coat hanger into the boy’s rectum. Then a third teammate kicked the coat hanger several times, according to a criminal complaint. The Oct. 23, 2015 incident has rocked the tiny town of Dietrich, Idaho. This spring, after several months of investigation, the state Attorney General’s office filed sexual assault charges against all three alleged attackers. Two of the teenagers are being charged as adults and could face life in prison, under Idaho law/Washington Post. More here.
