The boy said he felt uncomfortable, but believed it was normal because he had never wrestled before. “He is an authority figure,” the teen said.Īnother teen, now 17, said Snider touched his testicles and buttocks, telling him to lift his penis. Although he felt awkward, he thought the coach’s examination was part of wrestling.
The boy said he checked his own body for ringworm when he went home and did not find any skin condition.
“He did a full body check and he applied cream to my scrotum.” “I was brought downstairs into his office and I was naked,” the boy said. The teen said he felt “awkward,” but never told anyone. “He spread my cheeks and looked in there.” “He had a flashlight and he would go throughout my body with it,” a now 17-year-old said. One said the coach massaged his thigh because of an injury, brushing his fingers against his penis in the process. Throughout their testimony Tuesday and Wednesday, boys have described the coach opening their underwear, and reaching in with his fingers to touch their buttocks and genitals. That wrestler told his coach, who informed Torrance High officials. One of his wrestlers told a member of another team about the skin checks. Snider, whose self-proclaimed status as a Midwest state wrestling champion allegedly is a lie, was relieved of his job when his “skin checks” came to light in January 2015. One by one, each of the alleged victims spent about 40 minutes in Judge Mark Arnold’s courtroom, describing their interactions with the coach.

"Jeff was the creator of Teen Wolf, and he had indeed fought for me I was grateful to him, and eager not to f- up the opportunity," Haynes wrote in his memoir according to EW. "Thank God Jeff fought for you to get that role." "The head of MTV almost didn't hire you because of that XY photo shoot we've been working our asses off to extinguish," Haynes alleges his manager said to him at the time. Haynes writes in his memoir, according to EW, that while he was openly gay growing up, his management suggested he not be open about his sexuality telling him an MTV executive was close to passing on him for the role of Jackson Whittemore on the popular network series. The actor, 33, says in his memoir Miss Memory Lane – which was released on Tuesday – that he almost was not cast in his breakout role on Teen Wolf because an MTV executive was concerned the actor previously posed in a gay magazine as a teenager. Colton Haynes has revealed he almost did not get one of the roles his fans know him best for.
