SANTA ANA, Calif.—A former Mater Dei High School football player whose family previously claimed he was harassed and bullied was also allegedly sexually assaulted by a football player, according to a Santa Ana Police Department document released Monday.
The alleged incident took place inside a locker room at Mater Dei High School last August, according to the document. Several football players reportedly forced the former student to the ground and exposed their genitals. Then they held him down, as one player “began humping” him from behind, through his pants, the document said.
The family of the former player, who left the school last year, has filed a lawsuit against the school. In their legal action, they allege their son was forced to fight a much larger player in a locker-room hazing ritual in February 2021.
