Four Former La Vernia Students Given New Indictments in Sexual Assault Hazing Scandal
More than two years after La Vernia High School students were accused of sexually assaulting fellowing classmates in an athletics hazing scandal, four former students have been indicted on new charges.
Alejandro Ibarra, Dustin Norman, Christian Roberts and Colton Weidner were indicted Friday in Wilson County on charges of engaging in organized criminal activity, according to KSAT.
The four men all had varying details in their indictments. Norman's indictment alleges that he "attempted to cause the penetration of a [juvenile's] anus" with a cardboard rod, shampoo bottle and a CO2 air bottle on separate occasions. According to Ibarra's indictment, he also tried to force those same items into his classmates' anuses on three separate occasions.
The other two men, Roberts and Weidner, reportedly targeted four different students over six incidents. According to their indictments, the pair allegedly held down one student and "tried to place a finger in the victim's anus."
