PHOENIX (AP) - A 17-year-old Chandler boy has been charged in adult court in an investigation into alleged hazing involving Hamilton High School football players.
Maricopa County Superior Court officials say the teen had his initial court appearance Friday.
He’s being held without bail on suspicion of child molestation, kidnapping and aggravated assault.
The Associated Press is withholding the boy’s name because he’s a juvenile.
He was among three teens the county Attorney’s Office filed criminal charges against in the case on Thursday.
Chandler police say the hazing allegedly occurred between September 2015 and January 2017 on school grounds.
Two 16-year-old boys have been charged in juvenile court with kidnapping, aggravated assault and assault. Their names haven’t been released.
Police continue to investigate and are looking into the possibility of more victims.
