NORWALK, Ohio — Norwalk police and school officials continue to investigate allegations that a high school student was forcibly held down by two students while another student hazed the victim with a sex toy, according to police reports obtained by News 5. A large group of parents admonished district administrators at a school board meeting this week, accusing them of inappropriately interrogating students and confiscating their cell phones without their parents or police present.
According to the police report, the victim told police that the incident had happened the week of August 8 at approximately 3 p.m., as roughly a dozen students were getting ready for football practice in the varsity boys locker room. As the victim was about to walk out the door, another student grabbed him and forced him onto the floor while at least two people held him down by his arms.
One of the witnesses to the incident reportedly told police that the entire ordeal lasted roughly 20 seconds. At a Norwalk school board meeting Tuesday night, a large group of parents and concerned citizens voiced outrage at the incident itself as well as the district’s response to it, particularly in how administrators conducted the investigation before police were involved.
