A former Penn State football player claims coach James Franklin retaliated against him after he reported a violent hazing incident in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday.
Isaiah Humphries, who was recruited by Penn State but eventually left the program, is suing Franklin and ex-teammate Damion Barber.
All-American linebacker Michah Parsons is also mentioned as a participant in the suit as is Yetur Gross-Matos and Jesse Luketa.
Among Humphries claims in the suit are that Barber, Parsons, Gross-Matos and Luketa would wrestle under classmen to the ground and while holding them there “place his genitals on the face of the lower classman” and place “their penises between the cheeks of the buttocks of lower classmen, such as the plaintiff, while naked in the locker-room shower. “
The players also allegedly made reference to former coach Jerry Sandusky, who is serving a lengthy jail sentence for sexually abusing boys involved in his charity.
