3:21Now PlayingIn South Dakota, six high school baseball players are facing rape charges in a case that has sent shockwaves through the state. These charges stem from the alleged sexual assault of two teenage boys in June, and all six defendants have entered not guilty pleas. They argue that the incident, which occurred during a summer tournament, was part of a "team hazing ritual" and not sexual assault.
The prosecutor, however, is disputing this defense, saying that the "hazing ritual" claims only potentially serve to make this a much larger issue. Tune in to "Elizabeth Vargas Reports" as NewsNation's legal analyst Jesse Weber breaks down the case.
