San Antonio police investigate indecent exposure allegations at Central Catholic High School involving a 15-year-old victim and fellow students.
SAN ANTONIO — San Antonio police are investigating multiple reports of hazing and sexual harassment allegations at Central Catholic High School.
Local attorney Jesse Guerra is representing a family who claims their 15-year-old son, who just finished his freshman year, was bullied and sexually harassed by fellow soccer team members.
The family says their son’s fellow soccer team members exposed their genitals in a harassing and demeaning way in multiple incidents in the team locker room. He claims he was also locked in a cage within the locker room multiple times and harassed by the teammates.
Guerra alleges the latest incident in the locker room happened on April 29th of this year. The teen’s mother, Christina Garcia, said when he left the school that day, he wasn’t okay.
“He said to me, ‘if you send me to the school for three more years, I will kill myself,'” Garcia said.
She said her son had brought his younger brother for ‘shadow day’ and he’d really wanted to go see the locker room where his older brother spent a lot of time.
“He wasn’t sure of going.”
Hesitant, the 15-year-old took his younger brother. That’s when Guerra and Garcia say the two saw boys kissing, hitting each other, and an older player proceeded to lock the older brother in a cage.
“While he was locked inside a cage with this senior he put his hands inside his (the victim’s) pants and said I’m going to put my penis ****** all over you,” Guerra said.
It was after this that Garcia said her son questioned why God would do this to him.
Guerra also says the child alleges threats were made on multiple occasions from players.
“He told my client’s son ‘if I ever get your mother one-on-one I will rape her.’”
Another incident the family cites took place in Round Rock at a championship soccer game. The family says their son was taking a nap and woke up to a player exposing their private parts in his face. The family also says players made threats against their family.
Round Rock Police Major Crime Unit detective Dwayne Riley confirms these allegations, telling KENS 5 there is an open investigation from March of 2025 looking into quote “indecency with a child.” They are actively looking into this as they gather information from the school.
KENS 5 asked SAPD about the incidents and the department responded with a report of an active investigation at Central Catholic.
The report, filed April 30, says “the suspect has indecently exposed himself to the victim on multiple occasions throughout the last several months.” The report confirmed both the alleged victim and the suspect were students at the high school. No charges have been filed.
In a statement to KENS 5, the student’s mother, Christina Garcia said, “What happened to our son was not ‘normal locker room behavior.’ It was not a prank.”
“He was threatened into silence and was told that ‘even worse’ would happen to him if he ever spoke out,” the statement continued.
The family says their son made an outcry after his 13-year-old brother, who is in middle school, visited the campus on a “shadow day” and observed some of the alleged disturbing behavior.
KENS 5 has reached out to the Archdiocese of San Antonio who provided this statement:
“As Central Catholic High School is a private Catholic school in the Archdiocese of San Antonio, any comment regarding this matter should come from the school itself or the Marianist Province of the United States – based in St. Louis – which is the religious order which founded and still administers the school.”
The Marianist Province of the United States released the following statement:
The Marianist Province of the United States sponsors 18 primary and secondary schools (including Central Catholic High School) and three universities across the country, as education is integral to our mission.
Sponsored schools, while guided by the Marianist Educational values, operate and function independently with local leadership and governance structures. The Province was contacted about an alleged incident by a family member of a student at Central Catholic. The Province is in communication with the school’s administration and offering support to the school community, as well as prayers for all those involved.
There are established protocols at Central Catholic High School for the protection of students. Central Catholic’s leadership has assured us that the school adhered to all guidelines and procedures and is cooperating fully with law enforcement in this matter.
The organization also provided a statement directly from the school. That statement is below:
“At Central Catholic High School, the safety, dignity, and well-being of every student are our top priorities.
On April 29, a student reported allegations of bullying by other students. This was the first time school administrators or coaches had been made aware of these concerns involving this student.
Upon receiving the report, we took immediate action. We began a thorough internal investigation and implemented appropriate disciplinary measures in accordance with our Student Code of Conduct. As educators, we took every action available to us based on the information we received. We are also cooperating fully with law enforcement, as it remains under active investigation.
Because of the confidentiality rights of the students involved and due to the active nature of law enforcement’s investigation, we cannot provide additional details at this time. However, we want to be clear: bullying, hazing, and harassment have no place at Central Catholic and are not tolerated. This incident is not reflective of our student body or the values we work to instill every day.
We remain committed to fostering a safe, respectful, and supportive environment for all students. We continue to pray for all students involved and every student in our care.”
This is a developing story and further details will be added as they are received.
