Their attorney claims coaches ignored the abuse, which occurred in a highly-ranked wrestling program. Though police investigated, they declined to recommend charges. The district, unaware of the lawsuit yet, previously investigated hazing and placed coach Eric Brenton on leave before reinstating him. They’ve since added new safety protocols — but the case underscores deep concerns about athlete safety and accountability in school sports.
