Georgia OL Clay Webb Among 3 Defendants Facing Federal Lawsuit for Hazing

The trials of football may have come to an end for the Georgia Bulldogs this season, but for one of their players, another trial may be just beginning.

UGA offensive lineman Clay Webb is one of three individuals facing a federal lawsuit for hazing. The suit alleges that during their high school days in Alabama, Webb and other players actively allowed and encouraged a fellow athlete to drink a bottle of Powerade contaminated with Webb's sperm.

Disgusting is just one of the many words to describe the accusations against the former 5-star recruit

The other defendants in the case include another student and Oxford High School baseball coach Wesley Brooks, who is facing an individual suit for being absent from the team's locker room at the time of the hazing.

The plaintiff, a minor whose identity is not public record, alleges that multiple students knew what Webb had done but did not accurately respond when asked iff the bottle was safe to drink. When he drank from the bottle, the suit contends that many of the athletes began to laugh at him until another witness told him what had happened.

By then, the suit states, the floodgates were opened to relentless bullying and harassment from students at the school.

It's a cruel and vile act of hazing that, if true, should be met with stiff punishment.
