Freshman Soccer hazing victims, the story

Tiffin University officials and area media outlets, including The Blade, received an e-mail message alleging that the 11 freshmen on the team were hazed. The message included attached photographs of bare-chested men clad in boxer shorts wearing signs around their necks with their names and derogatory remarks about them written in marker. In the photos, some of the men also have derogatory writings and pictures drawn on them in marker, and several are attached to each other with "handcuffs" that appear to be fashioned from duct tape.

The e-mail included an address for a Web site where 20 photos of partially dressed young people were posted, including six photographs believed to be of the Tiffin soccer players. Most of the men thought to be soccer players are smiling and holding plastic beverage cups. One photo shows three shirtless people, including a female wearing a bra, standing with their backs to the camera, revealing marker writings on their back.

Tony Iyayi, one of the freshmen soccer players in the photographs, said the incidents depicted in the images occurred at a team social event in early September. Mr. Iyayi, 19, of Lagos, Nigeria, said not all of the freshmen participated in the event - contrary to the e-mail allegations by Mr. Terry - and everyone who took part did so voluntarily. No one was harmed, he added. "We just decided to have a laugh." Read the full article here.
