The players' arrests were just the latest development in a story that has included allegations of violent sexual assault, as well as the cancelation of the school's entire football season.


Six of the players were arrested, the Associated Press reported, while police continued looking for the seventh. Prosecutors charged three of the players with aggravated sexual assault, criminal restraint, hazing and other crimes. The other four were charged with aggravated criminal sexual contact, as well as other crimes.


The players' names haven't been released because they are minors, but they range in age from 15 to 17 years old.



Students leave Sayreville War Memorial High School on Oct. 7.
