A former Catholic high school coach is suing the Diocese of Sacramento in Northern California claiming he was fired in retaliation for reporting sexual hazing by his players.
Officials at Vallejo’s St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School said earlier this month that 50-year-old head football coach Chris Cerbone was fired because varsity players exposed their genitals to harass six younger teammates.
Cerbone filed a wrongful termination suit on Wednesday in Sacramento County Superior Court saying he was trying to protect students by reporting the incidents to school administrators.
But the lawsuit says principal Mary Ellen Ryan fired Cerbone, saying he was to blame for failing to supervise his players.
