Three teenagers charged with sex crimes in alleged La Puente High School hazing

Prosecutors Tuesday filed charges against three teenage boys accused of sexually assaulting four fellow students as part of a hazing ritual among soccer players at La Puente High School, authorities said.

The two 17-year-old boys and one 16-year-old boy, whose names are not being released due to their ages, are being charged with assault, sexual battery and hazing.

They are due to appear for arraignment Nov. 19 in Pomona Juvenile Court, Los Angeles County District Attorney's office spokeswoman Jane Robison said. They have been released to the custody of their parents pending their court proceedings.

Testimonial of the Maldonado Family

Dearest Fay,

Our love and best wishes go out to you for all you have done for my brother Francisco Maldonado, who is free at last.

You fought like a true warrior, like a mother, like a sister, like the great human being and lawyer that you are. Those five years were not easy, but you always stood strong and brave by our side. Your professionalism, dedication, persistence, and passion paid off. I will never forget for as long as I live the Not Guilty words pronounced by the Courts Clerk; yes, it was a miracle. You and God were there to make it happen.
