Parents alerted to Piedmont HS 'fantasy slut league'

Piedmont High School officials are currently investing a controversial organization started by the male varsity sports teams – the "fantasy slut league."

The school's been investigating the fantasy league and the school principal recentlty sent a letter home to students and parents alerting them to the existence of the group.

"Over the past five to six years such a league has existed in one form or another as part of bonding for some varsity teams during their seasons of sport," the letter said.

The league consisted of female students being drafted and then male students would then earn points for documented sexual activities with the female students.

Most people in Piedmont wouldn't comment on the issue, but those who did said they are disappointed.

"The title alone to me is just very demeaning," said Geri Ferrer-Chan, of Piedmont High School.

Carolyn Ballis of Emeryville said hearing about this was a surprise. "But it happens a lot more that you'd like to think it does," she said.

The principal also said in the letter: "Students felt pressure to participate and or lacked confidence to overtly stop it."

In some cases, alcohol was involved, the letter said.
