Former Northern Arizona star basketball recruit Stephen Garnett Jr. and six other teen athletes were sentenced Wednesday for their roles in a hazing scandal at Winslow High School.
Police say the student athletes sexually assaulted other athletes during hazing.
Seven of the eight defendants had pleaded guilty to aggravated assault in return for having various counts of sexual assault and kidnapping dropped. Both pleaded guilty in August to 12 counts each of aggravated assault. Timothy Lewis and William Shoupe, both 16, each received six months in jail, two years probation and 200 hours community service. According to court records, victims told sheriff's investigators the other students held them against their will, pulled down their pants and inserted fingers and other objects into their rectums. Most of the attacks on the 10 victims, who were almost all underclass athletes, took place on buses returning from Winslow basketball games last winter, in locker rooms and at the high school's football field during track season.
