RCMP charge 11 young people in alleged high school hazing in Saskatchewan
LANIGAN, Sask. – RCMP have charged eleven young people in an alleged hazing of high school students in Saskatchewan involving teens being hit with hockey sticks.
Nine boys face 34 charges including assault, assault with a weapon and assault causing bodily harm.
Two 18-year-olds are also charged.
Police say they got an assault complaint after a party Sept. 6 outside Lanigan, east of Saskatoon.
The party was an annual freshman gathering that police say included the hazing of some Grade 9 and 10 students by high school seniors.
Some of the teens suffered severe bruising and one has muscle damage to his leg and buttocks.
All of those charged are to appear in Humboldt provincial court Oct. 21.
