This will be swept under the rug.
The problem with this story is that it was reported. This happens WAY more often than you would think, and broomsticks seem to be the culprit.
My best friend in college was sodomized by a baseball bat during a hazing ritual in high school and later expelled for reporting it. He was stupid enough to not name names, so he was expelled for taking part in a "hazing ritual" despite being the victim.
I don't understand how this breeds fraternity in any way, but sodomizing other boys with implements is hardly brotherly.
