Football "Rape Squad" Controversy

In the Spring of 2019, a student reported to Bothell Police that he had overheard football players in the locker room discussing "Rape Squad", which is a practice where, upon one yelling the words, multiple athletes would restrain a teammate, remove their pants, and poke at their genitals. The police investigation into the incident was closed days later.

In August of 2019 after the on-campus "Camp Bothellhood", three players aged 14 and 15 reported being victims of similar behavior. Bothell Police Officer Garret Ware closed the case on September 20, dismissing it as "horseplay" and lacking "criminal intent or sexual motivation."[3]
