by 10th Texas high school athlete charged with sexual assault in hazing scandal
A 10th high school athlete has been charged with sexual assault in a hazing scandal at a San Antonio-area school.
Alejandro Ibarra, 18, was arrested Wednesday.
Seven juveniles and two other adults also have been charged over allegations dating back as far as 2014, La Vernia Police Chief Bruce Ritchey said this week.
All 10 arrestees have at some point been athletes at La Vernia High School, which has about 1,000 students. Ritchey said the hazing primarily involved the football team, but the basketball and baseball teams were also involved to a lesser degree.

Indeed, we've already started with the excuses from the religious lobby.
"Our society doesn't want to see something wrong. When something wrong happens, we want to crucify them. This is a little bit hypocritical," Fiuk said. "We want to see only negative, but I am asking where is positive? Not only on the level of La Vernia, but on the level of the state, on the level of the country, we are sick. These children need mercy and we have to learn to be merciful because they are victims of the sick society."
Shannon Kosub, director of religious education at the church, told local media: "I hope that those in our community that our true Christians will show true mercy to everyone involved and will reach out to show love. Because that's all our duty is, is to love."
