Three charged in Principia football hazing case

TOWN AND COUNTRY • The investigation into hazing allegations at a sports camp at Principia Upper School last summer has led to felony charges for two teens, and misdemeanor counts against another.

Joshua P. Brewer, 17, and Maverick S. Holmsley, 18, have each been charged with four counts of first degree sodomy in St. Louis County Circuit Court. Ricardo M. Loma, 18, faces seven counts of third-degree assault.

Brewer, Holmsley and Loma, who played football, were kicked out of Principia in August after school officials contacted police about “an assault related to hazing of juvenile students.”

Brewer, of Town and Country, and Holmsley, of Wright City, are accused of penetrating the anus of four victims “for the purpose of terrorizing them,” according to court documents. Loma, of Kirkwood, is charged with punching those four and three others. Two others who faced allegations were juveniles.
