Investigators from the Saline County Sheriff’s Office traveled to Great Bend Monday to conduct interviews in connection with an alleged sexual assault that took place in Saline County involving the Great Bend High School swim team.
Captain Roger Soldan said a 15-year-old boy came to Salina on Saturday with a parent to report a sexual assault that allegedly took place on a bus after it left Salina on February 3rd, following a swim meet at Salina South High School.
Soldan said the assault reportedly occurred about 10 minutes after the team left a Salina restaurant, where the team stopped for a meal following the swim meet.
The victim said he was sexually assaulted by another member of the team.
This incident occurred before a freshman swimmer reported being assaulted by upperclassmen on the swim team on February 6th, while coming back from a meet in Manhattan. That assault is alleged to have occurred in Ellsworth County.
