NYC high schooler denies sexual hazing claims, but says he’s now being bullied: ‘They’re calling me P-Diddy’



A Brooklyn high schooler accused of sexually hazing a JV football teammate last year said he’s now being mercilessly bullied by his classmates — and maintains the incident never happened.

“The whole team is saying it’s a lie,” 15-year-old James Madison High School student Neijee Hunter told The Post. “Now they’re calling me P-Diddy. They called me gay, and they’re saying this because of something I didn’t do. They’re leaving baby oil in my locker.”

Hunter and two other players on the Midwood school’s junior varsity team were accused of holding down a teammate in October, pulling off his clothes and touching his “private area,” police and sources said.

The alleged victim’s mother blew the whistle on the incident, which abruptly ended the team’s season, got one of the coaches fired — and ended with the accused hazers ostracized from their peers, Hunter and his family said.

The teen and his parents said the whole thing was overblown, and was just typical horsing around by the team that did not involve any sexual contact or assault.

“When the school called us and told us we needed to get down there, I got there fast and the police were already there,” his father, Early Hunter, told The Post. “We went to court three times. They declined to prosecute in family court. The judge said he didn’t know why this was in court.

“The school made such a big thing about it before investigating,” he said. “They called the police immediately. They charged them and took all three of them out in handcuffs like they were real criminals.”

The elder Hunter even released a video of the incident last year, showing it was just rough-housing.

Other James Madison parents also chimed in after the incident, calling the arrests excessive and telling The Post that disciplining the boys would have been punishment enough.

The Hunters said the alleged victim of the incident was taken out of the school by his mother — and the reputed bullies were returned to class after the charges were tossed in court.

But it’s been a nightmare for Neijee, who said he’s now the target of abuse at the school — even though the alleged victim, a linebacker on the team, was someone he considered a friend.

“He’s the only one saying that happened,” he said of his accuser. “The coach was right there.

“It was after practice. We were getting psyched for the game Friday. Were playing around. After practice, all regular horseplay in the locker room, tackling each other. We tackled him and he went home and told a lie. He was laughing, ready to play against the biggest team in the South Shore High School league.”

His classmates’ taunts of “P-Diddy” refer to disgraced rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is on trial in Manhattan and is accused of a long running pattern of sexual abuse and assault.

The teen who made the sex hazing claims at James Madison could not be reached for comment, nor could the coach who was fired over the incident.

A spokesperson for James Madison High School said the school was unaware of the harassment.

“Bullying and harassment have absolutely no place in our schools,” they said in a statement. “Prior to this inquiry, the school had received no escalation or report of bullying. Upon receipt of these allegations, the school launched a full investigation and we are providing support to this student, as per school policies.”

But Neijee’s mom said the damage is done.

“This could have ruined someone’s whole life over a lie,” Nathifa Bembrey told The Post. “It was very stressful. It was nerve-wracking. And that coach got fired, and they said he allowed this to happen. He’ll never coach again, all over a lie.

“The kids at school were calling them the Madison 3,” she said. “They were so rude and mean. No apologies. They absolutely could’ve handled this better.”

James Madison high, founded in 1925, has had several high profile alums, including US Sen. Chuck Schumer and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
