The iamstonefoltz FOUNDATION presents "Hazing Crimes: The Podcast". It uncovers the shocking stories behind hazing incidents that escalated into criminal acts. With each episode, we delve into incidents that start as seemingly harmless initiation rituals that later turn into tragic and criminal outcomes. From universities to sport teams to Greek organizations and social clubs, the podcast sheds light on the disturbing patterns of abuse, coercion, and power dynamics that contribute to the escalation of these incidents. Hear the stories that demand justice and inspire the need for change.
Attorney Rex Elliott from the law firm, Cooper & Elliott, joins me to talk about how the legal landscape has changed in Ohio. Now, if someone is charged with hazing, it is no longer classified as a misdemeanor—it now becomes a felony when it involves substantial injury or death. Rex goes on to explain how the Stone Foltz case was the driving force behind the state legislature's action to finally pass Collin's Law. Not only does Collin's Law elevate hazing to a felony with possible jail time, but also mandates that colleges must post the hazing history of organizations on campus for parents and students to examine. Furthermore, colleges and universities have a mandatory obligation to report incidences of hazing to local law enforcement. This is an eye-opening podcast that explains what happens in the aftermath of a hazing incident.
