Penn State found themselves in a huge controversy a few years ago when it was revealed that one their coaches, Jerry Sandusky, was bringing little kids around the locker room and ***ually assaulting them. Sandusky allegedly did this for years and head coach Joe Paterno never did a thing about it despite having the situation brought to him. Now, the school could be in a whole heap trouble for yet another example alleged ***ual misconduct.
According to TMZ, former player Isaiah Humphries is suing the school, head coach, and star player Damion Barber for hazing he underwent while at the school. Humphries names four players in the lawsuit including Barber, Micah Parsons, Yetur Gross-Matos, and Jesse Luketa. Humphries says many the upperclass players would ***ually and violently haze freshman while saying phrases like “I am going to f*ck you” and “I am going to Sandusky you … This is Jerry.” Considering Penn State’s history, these references are quite shocking and troubling.

Some Humphries’ allegations are quite disturbing. He said players would “present their] penis close to the face the lower classman and stroke his genitalia simulating the action ejaculation.” They would also grab the genitals lowerclass players. Perhaps the most egregious allegation is that upperclass players used to place their genitals on the butts loweclass players and simulate masturbation.
The school investigated this and suspended Barber for one game but Humphries wants more action to take place. Humphries also alleges that he was threatened by Luketa who said he would be “gunned down” if he visited his city.
