Alleged details about a reported series of hazing incidents within a New Jersey high school football program emerged Wednesday, and they are nothing short of disturbing.

NJ.com published a report using as a source one of the parents of a player at Sayreville War Memorial High School who claims to be a victim of the hazing. He told the website that the incidents would first start with a scream from a senior player at the school.

In the darkness, a freshman football player would be pinned to the locker-room floor, his arms and feet held down by multiple upperclassmen. Then, the victim would be lifted to his feet while a finger was forced into his rectum. Sometimes, the same finger was then shoved into the freshman player’s mouth.

"(For) 10 seconds, the lights would go off and they would grab a freshman and they would go on," the parent said. "Right on the floor. ... It was happening every day. They would get the freshmen."

The parent requested anonymity, the paper said, because he feared retribution. Officials have refused to release specifics on the case.

These incidents were part of what led to a criminal investigation by county and local police. That led to the football season being canceled, despite outrage from some players and parents.

In deciding to end the season, Superintendent Richard Labbe said "incidences of harassment, intimidation and bullying as constituted by the definition within the anti-bullying statute that took place on a pervasive level, on a wide-scale level, and at a level in which the players knew, tolerated, and in general accepted."

When the website reached out to Labbe about these specific charges, he declined comment.

Sayreville football coach George Najjar also refused to comment.

The parent of the player allegedly victimized refuses to believe the coaching staff wasn't aware of what was ongoing.

He told NJ.com he can't "understand how none of the coaches were aware of it. As a coach, you know what's going on in your clubhouse. You know what's going on in the locker room."

Sayreville sits next to the Raritan River and just inland from the Raritan Bay, site of devastating flooding from Sandy in October 2012. The town was one of those targeted by the state for a buyout program, and demolitions began earlier this year to improve flood protection.

The bigger issue is who volunteered for rectum duty.

Teens have always done crazy and stupid crap. You just hear about all of it now because the media reports on everything.

Don't believe this to be true at all. Not close.

You just don't read about the good kids.

Of course there are good teens out there. Thats why i said 90 percent and not 100

Also, this is not based on this article. In the past week alone I saw a group of teens making fun of an autistic child and and another group treating a waitress like absolute shit. This waitress had one arm and was working her ass off. You see this kind of stuff on a daily basis.

What the hell is the matter with where you grew up?? I played multiple sports my entire life from little league through college, and I've NEVER seen anybody do any sexual shit to a teammate. Making them carry bags, messing up their locker a little bit, or eating their slice of pizza? Sure. Sticking a finger in their ass? No...

Anybody who thinks that's normal has serious issues and shouldn't be overseeing kids.

Cancelling the season was short sighted, it now makes the seniors feel like they are victims not to mention screwing the sophmores and juniors.

Did you also see the kids giving up their weekend to help volunteer at a Special Olympics competition? Or the kids volunteering at their church camp?

There are good kids and bad kids all over.

Nothing new. Stuff like this always happened. When I played baseball in high school they used to give the new guys the "ass face" . They would hold the guy down and another player would sit on his face bare assed. Didn't seem that crazy at the time but I guess in hindsight in the current PC culture it would be a big deal. This was 20 years ago in a good suburban high school for frame of reference.
