Mead High Hazing Lawsuit Trial

Two former Mead High School students are seeking up to $50 million after alleging they were brutally hazed by teammates in 2023, with the district already found liable for failing to protect them. Emotional testimony from an 18-year-old victim revealed he was assaulted with a massage gun after refusing to reveal a Black teammate’s room — an attack framed as punishment for not participating in the harassment. The incident spiraled into online bullying and threats, deeply impacting his mental health. Defense attorneys challenged inconsistencies in his statements and questioned counseling details, while parents voiced ongoing concerns. Still, one survivor is determined to become a firefighter in Oregon — a decision his mother both honors and mourns as he prepares to leave home. The jury now deliberates on the final damages as the trial continues. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
