NEWARK, N.J. – Federal investigators are reviewing allegations that U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers in New Jersey have been subjected to sexually abusive hazing.
Three customs officers say the abuse has been going on for years at Newark's Liberty International Airport, including a hazing ritual in which officers are duct-taped to what they describe as a "rape table" in a secure room where other officers grind on their genital areas, NBC New York reported.
"Once the lights go out, they grab you up like a gang, and they forcibly throw you on the table and one officer ended up mounting me and pretty much riding me like a horse," said CBP officer Vito Degironimo, who said the staff members who hazed him and others were never punished.
A spokesman for the agency confirmed that the Department of Homeland Security inspector general is investigating.
