Two Teens Acquitted Of Most Serious Charges In Football Hazing Case, Report Says

Two teens were acquitted of the most serious charges filed against them in connection with the Sayreville high school football hazing case, according to a published report.

Attorney Richard P. Klein told NJ.com that his client was found not guilty in Family Court of six charges, including hazing and conspiracy to commit aggravated sexual contact.

He told the newspaper his client was found guilty of disorderly persons and petty disorderly persons offenses.

Kevin Flood, the attorney for the other defendant, would only say that his client and that teen’s family were “extremely happy” with the disposition of the case, NJ.com reported.

No information about the cases against the other five defendants was available, NJ.com said.

The seven Sayreville War Memorial High School football players were charged as juveniles last year. At the time, they teens ranged in age from 15- to 17-year-old. Their names were not released because they were juveniles.

The school cancelled the football season last year.
