Calcasieu Parish Sheriff Stitch Guillory says there was a culture on the Hamilton Christian School football team in which older players would haze the younger players, and it crossed the line into sexual assault. He says Principal Morgan Daugherty and Assistant Coach Dominique Washington knew about the incidents and, as school personnel, were required to report them to law enforcement.
Daugherty and Washington are being held on more than a million dollars bond apiece. Also, a school cook, Stacy Bargeman, was arrested for allegedly sending threatening messages about the investigation. No football players have been arrested so far.
