Statements on Wilson Hazing Case

State Police Major Christopher Cummings and Wilson School Superintendent Dr. Michael Wendt held a news conference to talk about the sex abuse charges stemming from an April 17th incident aboard a school bus bringing baseball players back to Wilson. Three students have been arrested for allegedly attacking younger members of the team in the back of the bus. State Police Lieutenant Rick Allen spoke with Donahue and Moore this morning on WECK. The two coaches on board have been suspended and the two or three other adults who were present are being questioned by police. The superintendent praised the students who came forward and reported the attack. Major Cummings is concerned that this type of hazing may have gone on in other years and wants to hear from anyone with any additional information. Cummings says he's never seen anything like this in his entire career. The three students are not being identified at this point in case they receive youthful offender status.
