 TORONTO (AP) — Police arrested six students from a prestigious private all-boys Catholic school in Toronto on Monday and charged them with sexual assault related to a video that was posted on the internet. 
 
 Toronto Police Inspector Dominic Sinopoli said the teens, who are all 14 and 15, are from St. Michael's College and were charged with assault, gang sexual assault and sexual assault with a weapon. 
 
 The high school is known for its sports programs and has produced many National Hockey League players over the years. 
 
 Sinopoli said the school failed to notify police immediately and police became aware of the sexual assault through the media. Police are investigating at least three other hazing incidents, including another alleged sexual assault. 
 
 Those arrested are young offenders and cannot be named. They appeared in court Monday and received bail. 
 
 St. Michael's has expelled eight students and suspended another in connection with at least two other incidents that allegedly took place on campus and were captured on video. 
 
 "The incidents of sexualized assault that happened to our students and on our school grounds are simply horrific," the school said in a statement. 
 
 "These incidents are clearly indicative we have a problem. We need to do much better at our culture and our student's ability to talk to us." 
 
 On Sunday, the school said it was conducting an independent examination into the "underlying attitudes and behaviors" that it said were inconsistent with the school's culture. 
 
 Sinopoli said five of the students who appeared in court Monday turned themselves in and another was arrested while heading to school. He said several videos are being circulated. 
 
 The school's principal did not attend a police press conference because of a bomb threat at the school which caused students and faculty to be evacuated. ||||| Six students of St. Michael’s College School have been released on bail after being charged with assault and sexual assault offences in a spiralling scandal over a series of incidents at the prestigious all-boys private school. Five students turned themselves in to police and one was arrested on his way to school, Deputy Chief James Ramer and Insp. Domenic Sinopoli of the sex crimes unit told reporters at a Monday morning news conference at Toronto police headquarters.

 The six boys have each been charged with assault, gang sexual assault and sexual assault with a weapon, Sinopoli said. Their charges are all in relation to a single incident that was captured on video and posted to social media depicting an alleged sexual assault of a teen boy. The 22-second video, which has been viewed by the Star, shows the teen held down by a group of boys in a locker room while he is allegedly sexually assaulted with what appears to be a broomstick.

 As the graphic allegations were read out in a small Toronto courtroom Monday afternoon, some of the parents of the accused teens began crying. The teens appeared distraught and hunched forward in the prisoners’ box as Crown Erin McNamara described what allegedly occurred. Two shook their heads at certain points. All six were released with the consent of the Crown with their parents as sureties. Two of the teens were released on $7,000 bail, with the other four on $5,000 bail. Their conditions of release include not contacting or being near the complainant, not going to St. Michael’s College School and only using social media with the “direct and constant supervision” of their sureties.

 Police are also investigating at least three other incidents at the school, one an alleged sexual assault and two alleged assaults. There are “a minimum of four victims,” Sinopoli said. “We also know there are several videos being circulated,” said Sinopoli, adding police are concerned the videos may still be being shared online. Police have warned that anyone in possession of the alleged sex assault video should delete it immediately because it meets the definition of child pornography. The news conference was briefly delayed after a bomb threat was called in to the school Monday morning, police said. The Roman Catholic school expelled eight students and suspended another one in connection with at least two incidents that allegedly took place on campus and were captured on video. Late last week, the alleged sex assault video and another video began circulating on social media sites.

 The Star also viewed the second, 49-second video, shot in the boys’ washroom. It shows a young boy in his underwear — he appears not to be physically injured — placed in a large sink by other boys, who splash water on him and slap him. At a late afternoon news conference at the school, principal Greg Reeves told reporters it’s clear St. Michael’s College School has “a serious problem.” “As a school we have a responsibility to keep our students safe, but our collective best efforts, have failed,” he said. Pressed by reporters, he said he didn’t call police about the video of the alleged sexual assault in the locker room, which he saw Monday evening. When police arrived at the school Wednesday he said he told them about it, but was always intending to call them. Sinopoli said Reeves had called police Monday for advice related to a hazing incident, but there “was never really a complaint” until after police heard about the video from the media. After days of questions about who knew what and when, the school released a detailed timeline of events late last week, confirming officials took a full day to report the locker room video to police. 
 
 Reeves told the Star in an interview Sunday evening that the delay was because he was busy with expulsion meetings related to the washroom video on Tuesday. The mother of the locker room victim was out of town and he set up a meeting with both parents for Wednesday. “My whole focus was on the protection of this young man,” Reeves said. At the police news conference, Sinopoli said the school should have immediately notified police about the alleged sex assault video. Reeves said at the Monday news conference that when he saw the video he called the victim’s dad, and his mom was out of town. Neither had been informed by their son. The victim was his priority, Reeves said. “I know I’m being criticized for that, but I’ve spoken with the victim’s parents, they are very pleased with the timeline, and I think that we’re helping the healing of that victim,” Reeves said. Reeves said the school is co-operating with police. He said a confidential voice mail has been set up and a full-time social worker is being hired. Last week, the school did its own internal investigations into both the locker room and bathroom videos, brought in crisis counsellors, and met with members of the junior football team and their parents. “There’s no good news in this story whatsoever,” Mayor John Tory told reporters at city hall after news of the students’ charges. “This is a school that has a great history, a great distinguished history in our city, but sometimes it can be the case that cultures within organizations like that — not confined to that school or schools in general — can fail to meet the accepted standard or fail to keep up even with changing attitudes.” Tory said he couldn’t comment on the timing of when police were notified about the alleged incidents. “The police should be called in instances where there is suspected criminal conduct as soon as possible,” he said, adding it was best left to others to examine what happened in this case. Over the weekend, the elite all-boys school announced an independent third-party investigation into the school’s culture. The “SMCS Respect and Culture Review” will look at the traditions, rituals and social practices of students. Parents and alumni will also be consulted. It will be led by a three-member independent committee of prominent citizens individuals who don’t have any connection to the school and a final report is expected by the summer. Recommendations will be implemented by the start of the 2019-20 school year. It looks as if you appreciate our journalism. Our reporting changes lives, connects communities and effects change.

Follow her on Twitter: @maywarren11 ||||| (CNN) A former Baylor University student alleges she was "brutally gang raped" in 2012 by at least four and as many as eight Baylor football players, according to a lawsuit. 
 
 The gang rapes were alleged to be a "bonding" experience for the football players, and photographs and videos of semi-conscious girls were usually taken during the alleged assaults and circulated among the players, said the civil lawsuit filed Tuesday in a Texas federal court. 
 
 The plaintiff, a member of the women's volleyball team from fall 2011 to spring 2013, alleges the rape happened after an off-campus party hosted by football players, the suit said. Players later harassed her, and university officials "misinformed" her and "actively concealed" her options to report the alleged assault after officials learned of it, the suit alleges. 
 
 The plaintiff's attorney, Muhammad S. Aziz, told CNN his client did not report the alleged incident to the police because "the mindset at that time was the football players could do whatever they wanted." 
 
 His client didn't go the hospital, he said. 
 
 The Title IX claim accuses the private Christian school in Waco, Texas of fostering a violent sexual culture that enables sexual assaults, creating a hostile environment. 
 
 "Baylor's failure to promptly and appropriately investigate and respond to the assaults allowed a condition to be created that substantially increased Plaintiff's chances of being sexually assaulted, as well as others," the suit said. 
 
 Baylor said in a statement that the university "has been in conversations with the victim's legal counsel for many months in an attempt to reach an amicable resolution." 
 
 "Baylor has since initiated and structurally completed 105 wide-ranging recommendations in response to issues of sexual violence within our campus community, in addition to making changes within the university and athletics leadership and investing significantly in student support services," the statement said. 
 
 "The university's response in no way changes Baylor's position that any assault involving members of our campus community is reprehensible and inexcusable," the statement said. 
 
 The lawsuit alleges that the university did not investigate the former student's allegations. 
 
 Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs. The law also covers sexual harassment and sexual violence. If schools learn of harassment that creates a hostile environment, they are required to take actions to eliminate it, prevent it from happening again and address its effects. 
 
 The suit claims the plaintiff told a counselor at the school, but the counselor did not mention Title IX nor the student's rights and options to report the incident. 
 
 Texas Ranger Division probing allegations of mishandled sexual assault cases 
 
 Baylor University has been mired in a years-long scandal over sexual assault cases. 
 
 In March, the Texas Rangers, the state's top cops, opened a preliminary investigation into allegations that the university mishandled sexual assault cases, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. 
 
 The probe followed mounting calls for the agency to intervene in a scandal at the school. At the time, the university pledged "full cooperation" with the investigation. 
 
 The allegations have led to several lawsuits and prison sentences for athletes convicted of sexual assaults . Last year, Baylor dumped then-University President Ken Starr after an independent report showed a "fundamental failure" to respond to student sex assault allegations, including those involving players. 
 
 Starr maintained that once he became aware of any allegations of violence, he immediately launched an investigation. 
 
 Art Briles, the head coach who transformed Baylor's football program into a power house, was fired by the university, and defended his reputation. 
 
 "I did not cover up sexual violence. I had no contact with anyone that claimed to be a victim of sexual or domestic assault," he said, Bleacher Report reported. 
 
 Starr and Briles are not named as defendants in the suit. 
 
 The suit claims the football program's "recruiting efforts used sex to sell the program." 
 
 And Baylor "actively created and was deliberately indifferent to a culture of sexual hostility and violence within its football program," the suit said. 
 
 The 2016 independent review for Baylor, conducted by the Pepper Hamilton law firm, found the school's "student conduct processes were wholly inadequate to consistently provide a prompt and equitable response" and "failed to consistently support complainants." 
 
 The school also found problems within the athletic department, "including a failure to identify and respond to a pattern of sexual violence by a football player and to a report of dating violence." 
 
 In January, a former student accused Baylor of creating a culture of sexual violence in which at least 31 players committed at least 52 acts of rape over four years. 
 
 Aziz said his client and other victims "really saw the Baylor role in what had happened" after the 2016 report. 
 
 "The Pepper Hamilton release was kind of the first moment that the plaintiffs realized there was a lot more involvement of Baylor in these events than they had known before that," he told CNN. 
 
 Lawsuit claims 
 
 The former volleyball player claims the alleged rape took place on February 11, 2012 after she had become intoxicated at the party, and possibly drugged by a football player. At some point, a player put her in his vehicle and took her somewhere, the suit said. 
 
 "Plaintiff remembers lying on her back, unable to move and staring at glow-in-the-dark stars on the ceiling as the football players took turns raping her," the suit alleges. 
 
 According to the suit, at one point, the former student recalled hearing someone yell, "Grab her phone! Delete my numbers and texts!" 
 
 One player told her she "wanted it," the suit said. 
 
 The student told her mother in the Spring of 2012. That July, the woman's mother met with an assistant football coach at a Waco deli, told him about the alleged assault and provided him with a list of players her daughter said were involved, without revealing her daughter's name, the suit said. 
 
 The mother asked the coach for help but never heard from the coach again, the suit said. 
 
 Claims of harassment 
 
 Baylor players then "retaliated" against the former student after the assistant coach spoke to two players involved in the alleged rape, the suit said. 
 
 "Specifically, the football players created numerous fake telephone numbers and harassed both Plaintiff and her family members via text message," the suit said. 
 
 The former student "was forced to face her assailants around campus, in the classroom and even during volleyball practice and training sessions, as the Baylor football team and women's volleyball team shared training facilities," the suit said. 
 
 In February 2013, one player allegedly sent the former student harassing text messages, the suit said. He and other players burglarized her apartment two months later. The student reported the burglary incident to police but no charges were filed, the suit said. 
 
 The harassing and threatening text messages continued after the former student filed the police report. 
 
 The student claimed she and her parents met with her head coach and a volleyball coaching staff member and told them about the allegations in April 2013. 
 
 At one point, the former student and her mother were told it was too late for criminal charges, but the suit never explains who told them. 
 
 After she withdrew from the university in the Spring of 2013, she told a football official about the alleged incident that autumn, the suit claims. 
 
 The suit alleges she was "manipulated into not pursing her rights." 
 
 "Defendant's failure to investigate the assault, conduct disciplinary hearings, or contact Plaintiff and offer any assistance ... was clearly unreasonable," the suit said. 
 
 "There has been lot of focus on the football program," Aziz said. "I would like to at least investigate what was known outside the football program in the administration."
