Enjoy this read.

Three wrestlers are serving 10-day suspensions while officials at Argo Community High School investigate allegations of hazing on a team bus.
At least one senior on the wrestling team is accused of committing a sexual prank known as "teabagging" against several freshman team members.

The boy apparently shoved his testicles in the faces of his teammates in order to humiliate or haze them, according to a parent who asked not to be identified.

The alleged hazing occurred on Dec. 1 during the 15-mile trip back to Summit from a dual meet at Bremen High School that featured the freshman, junior varsity and varsity teams.

Three paid coaches, one volunteer coach and approximately 45 students were on the bus. One member of the wrestling team is female. Activity bus routes are not videotaped.

Parents brought the hazing complaints to the Argo athletic director on Dec. 9, more than a week after the wrestling meet.

District 217 Supt. Frank Stout said students did not report the incident earlier because they feared retribution.

School officials held a parent meeting and suspended three students from school and sport for 10 days beginning Dec. 12. Winter break extends from Monday to Jan. 3.

Stout said the suspensions were related to the bus incident, but that what happened is unclear and still under investigation.

The school has alerted both the Summit police and Illinois Department of Children and Family Services of its investigation, though Stout wasn't sure yet if it should be characterized as hazing, bullying, abuse or assault. DCFS doesn't appear to be investigating. Stout said it will be up to parents to press charges.

"We know something happened on the bus and that it was completely unacceptable," he said.

Summit police Lt. Michael Long said two parents came to the department last week to report their sons were targets of the hazing. They wanted to make it a matter of record but said they were relying on the school to handle punishment.

Teabagging would constitute misdemeanor battery, Long said.

As of Tuesday morning, school officials had interviewed at least a dozen students. They either were not forthright about what happened during the bus trip or gave differing versions of events, Stout said. More interviews were scheduled Tuesday afternoon.

The students who were suspended did not confess to the hazing, and their punishments may be adjusted depending on new evidence or testimony, Stout said.

Argo Community High School requires students and athletes to follow a social behavior code. Sexual harassment and assault generally trigger suspension, criminal charges or expulsion, according to the district's Web site.

The term "teabagging" has made its way into pop culture through movies such as "Soul Plane" and the hit television show "Sex and the City." It is also doled out as punishment in some multi-player video and online games.

Varsity athletes have been known to quietly use the prank, alongside urinating in lockers and rubbing menthol cream in helmets, to haze underclassmen. A Santa Clara, Calif., boy was expelled from school in November after hazing a fellow football player by teabagging. He said he was on the receiving side of the abuse as a sophomore.

Hazing is defined by experts as any activity expected of someone joining a group or trying to maintain full status in a group that humiliates, degrades or risks emotional or physical harm, regardless of the person's willingness to participate.

The activities are generally considered to be physically abusive, hazardous or sexually violating.
