Texas: Volunteer Firefighters Charged With Sexual Assault In "Hazing" Incident

Six volunteer firefighters in Ellis County have been arrested for their role in a hazing incident.

Five men face aggravated sexual assault charges and one female is charged with improper photography or visual recording.

From the Dallas Observer:

According to the Rangers, who were called in by Ellis County to investigate after the trainee came forward on March 31, the men committing the assault initially planned on using a broomstick before deciding a link of chorizo in the fridge was a better choice.

Wisakowsky retrieved the sausage, and the trainee was bent over the couch while Tucker and Stafford held him down and the sausage was inserted into his anus, the Rangers say. Then Wisakowsky cut the sausage out of the package and attempted to reinsert it, but the sausage broke up.

The trainee told the Rangers he was then released and he crawled into the nearby restroom with "smashed up sausage still between his butt cheeks." He removed the sausage, threw up and took a shower to clean up. While he was showering, he says, someone took his clothes from the restroom. He came out of the restroom in a towel to look for his clothes. When he did, he says, Tucker took his towel. The man covered his genitals with his hands and ran to his truck to get some shorts, he says.

Those arrested on sex assault charges include: Keith Edward Wisakowsky, 26, Casey Joe Stafford, 30, Preston Thomas Peyrot, 19, Alec Chase Miller, 28, Blake Jerold Tucker, 19.

Brittany Leanne Parten, 23, was arrested on a charge of improper photography or visual recording.

A Texas Department of Safety spokesman said the investigation remained ongoing.
