Details are beginning to emerge from the Sayreville War Memorial High School football team’s hazing scandal, and they are ugly.

According to an NJ.com report, accusations of sexual abuse among members of the program sparked a criminal investigation by local and county police, and led to the cancellation of the varsity, junior varsity and freshman seasons this week by Superintendent Richard Labbe.

An unnamed parent told the New Jersey publication the daily incidents would begin with a howling noise from a senior football player, followed by locker room lights going off. A freshman football player would then be pinned to the floor, his arms and feet held down by upperclassmen. The victim would be lifted into the air and a finger forced in his rectum. On some occasions, that finger would then be shoved into the freshman’s mouth.

“[For] 10 seconds, the lights would go off, and they would grab a freshman and they would go on,” the parent told NJ.com. “Right on the floor. … It was happening every day. They would get the freshmen.

“Kids would just sit around and witness [stuff] like this.”

The description matches what Labbe previously described as “incidences of harassment, intimidation and bullying as constituted by the definition within the anti-bullying statute that took place on a pervasive level, on a wide-scale level, and at a level in which the players knew, tolerated, and in general accepted.”

Labbe declined to comment on the allegations, the first to arise since the report of widespread hazing and bullying within the powerhouse football program. Sayreville coach George Najjar, who has kept quiet throughout, had no comment when contacted by NJ.com.

The investigation began on Oct. 1 with an anonymous allegation made to Sayreville police about inappropriate conduct by members of the football team. On Oct. 2, the Middlesex County prosecutor began looking into the issue and Labbe canceled Sayreville’s football games at all three levels against rival South Brunswick. On Friday, assistant coach Charles Garcia resigned after his arrest for steroids possession surfaced.

On Monday, Labbe cancelled the season for all three Sayreville teams and the school board on Tuesday unanimously voted to back Labbe’s decision.
