SALINA – Law enforcement authorities in Saline County are now involved with an investigation in the alleged assault on a Great Bend High School Activity bus.

Investigators from the Saline County Sheriff’s Office traveled to Great Bend Monday to conduct interviews in connection with an alleged sexual assault that took place in Saline County
involving the Great Bend High School swim team.

Sheriff’s Captain Roger Soldan said a 15-year-old boy with a parent came to Salina Saturday to report a sexual assault that allegedly took place on a bus after it left Salina on February 3rd, following a swim meet at Salina South High School.

Soldan said the assault reportedly occurred about 10 minutes after the team left a Salina restaurant where the team stopped for a meal following the swim meet.

The victim said another member of the team sexually assaulted him.

This incident occurred before a freshman swimmer reported being assaulted by upperclassmen on the swim team February 6th coming back from a meet in Manhattan. That assault is alleged to have occurred in Ellsworth County.
