A former student of Carlsbad’s Army & Navy Academy has decided that being “brutalized by other students seven years ago in a hazing incident that included sodomy with a broom handle . . slathered in Icy Hot analgesic heat rub” isn’t something he wants to let go unchecked. He has sued the school, according to a story in the North County Times.
That lawsuit is one of two pending against the academy claiming that administrators at the campus failed to adequately oversee cadets and prevent inappropriate behavior. . . .The second suit was filed by the parents of a then-16-year-old cadet who say their son had sexual relations with an 18-year-old student during times that he was supposed to be supervised by an adult.
It is worth noting that according to Academy President Stephen Bliss (pictured right) “The academy’s written policies for cadets forbid all forms of sexual abuse and hazing.”

I have heard some horror stories from a friend of mine who worked as one of the ANA’s on campus EMT years ago regarding strange injuries that could not have occurred from “normal’ day-to-day type accidents.
I bet the administration knew of hazing and such going on and disregarded it as boys being boys and not taking it seriously.
