“What's going on in the locker room is a sick illness,” the player told the New York Post.
The lawsuit argues that Superintendent Rob Shepherd and the school ignore the complaints, “which allows a toxic culture to last without being able to investigate or discipline the perpetrator.”

The player eventually left the team and left school.
