LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Officials in Lincoln say consent by victims is no defense against incidents of hazing. But that hasn’t kept those facing discipline or even criminal charges for hazing incidents at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln from trying.

University police point to a recent investigation into a 2014 video that appears to show a fraternity member being branded with the fraternity’s letters.

Police say, when questioned, members of the fraternity said the student being branded willingly took part.

But state law does not excuse instances of hazing, even when victims agree to take part.

UNL Police Sgt. Dave Dibelka says the investigation into the branding video is ongoing.
