Safety Isaiah Humphries alleges in his U.S. Middle District Court complaint that he was subjected to violent and "overtly sexual" hazing during his time at Penn State. The university and defensive lineman Damion Barber are also named as defendants in the case. Additionally, linebackers Micah Parsons and Jesse Luketa, as well as defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos, are named in the suit as ringleaders for the abuse.
The suit is seeking unspecified damages. Penn State has not yet officially commented on the case.
According to the complaint, Humphries was subjected to intense hazing during his lone year with the Nittany Lions. The hazing allegedly took place in several areas on campus, including the Lasch Building. Humphries claims the alleged bullies would wrestle victims to the ground, dry hump them and shove their genitals in their faces. Other threats allegedly included assailants saying, "I am going to Sandusky you," referencing disgraced former Nittany Lions defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.
Franklin and his coaching staff allegedly not only ignored the tormenting but retaliated in response to Humphries coming forward. Humphries claims he was asked to do impossible conditioning drills and slandered when he tried to transfer out of the program. He also alleges that Luketa threatened to have him killed for coming forward.

Franklin's face always rubbed me the wrong way...I wouldn't be surprised if he was behind some real shady ****...

For the record, Dean Blandino too...check that dude's hard drive...

Other than the Sandusky thing, seems like meatheads being meatheads

I know that the police in this area don't have a great track record of investigating incidents involving PSU football, however, there's this:

The police report was eventually reviewed by Centre County District Attorney Bernie Cantorna, who confirmed the decision not to file any criminal charges.

What we don’t know is whether any of the individuals investigated faced disciplinary action from Penn State, but again, the bottom line is that no criminal charges were filed as a result of the investigation

I know, I'm just agreeing with what you're saying. I don't trust anything in that area since the Sandusky scandal. They've shown that they prioritize things differently there. Another "hazing" scandal involving genitalia is honestly crushing media-wise, that I don't give them the benefit of the doubt.

I think we can all rest easy knowing state college residents, fans, authorities, etc will let this play out rationally and let due process run its course

Ouch, from such a nice dude in Steck to this.

I've got to imagine they're under a lot of pressure. NW Mo St, Central MO, and Western Mo have all been title contenders in Division 2. Many kids in the state would rather be winners at that level than scholarship players at an FCS school.

As fun as it is to pile on PSU, by just about every account this hazing story is flimsy at best. That Humphries dude seems to have a serious credibility problem.
