A former cadet at the Valley Forge Military Academy and College is suing the Wayne-based boarding school, alleging he was repeatedly abused and bullied as a teenager in 2016 and 2017.
The lawsuit filed by a 20-year-old man, identified as “John Doe” in court filings, accuses six fellow cadets of restraining Doe and beating him with a lacrosse stick before trying to force it into his mouth and then his anus, through his clothes, a ritual cadets referred to as “toothpasting.”
