Varsity football scandal
In July 2016, six Philomath High School varsity football players and one coach were cited in connection with “aggravated hazing” incidents at Camp Rilea in Clatsop County. The incidents involved at least 11 alleged victims. The six youths have been cited on charges that, if committed by adults, would constitute the crimes of harassment and assault. All the harassment or attempted harassment charges involve "offensive physical contact with intimate parts," Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson said, adding that the charges are either Class A or Class B misdemeanors.[4]
