Future practices were canceled and games forfeited after a video leaked showing members of the team allegedly hazing and sexually harassing a young man, the outlet continues.
Members of the coaching staff have also been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, which is being jointly investigated by Haverhill Police.
"Haverhill Public Schools will not tolerate hazing, harassment, or retaliation in any form," the district said in an email. "Any such misconduct will be responded to swiftly and it will undoubtedly have lasting repercussions for all of those involved."
The school district said they cannot comment further on the investigation and are advising parents to discuss the incident with their students. Any further information should be sent to Principal Kevin Soraghan.
