Trotwood schools sued over 2011 sexual assault by football players

Trotwood-Madison High School

Trotwood-Madison High School

Three members of the 2011 Trotwood-Madison High School football team sexually assaulted a freshman with a broomstick, according to a lawsuit filed in county court and court documents obtained by this news organization.

Darco Thompson, Philip Bryant Jr. and Tyler Britt — all now adults — had rape complaints brought against them in Montgomery County Juvenile Court, but not until February 2015. The documents do not address the lag between the incident and the charges.

The only punishment listed on the disposition of those cases was for the defendants to write an apology letter at least 500 words that reflected upon the incident that occurred. All three also were put on non-reporting probation.

The civil lawsuit brought by Dorian, Kevin and Terrie Veal in Montgomery County Common Pleas names the three players, the Trotwood-Madison City School District, the district’s school board members and then-coach Maurice Douglass as defendants.

The 2011 Trotwood-Madison High School football team was 15-0 and won a state championship.

We are working to get more information about this case.
