A former member of the baseball team at St. Joseph’s University in Patchogue was forced to strip naked and was physically assaulted and hazed by his own teammates during a team trip in March — part of a pattern of misconduct that was allowed to continue unabated for years at the private Catholic school, a lawsuit filed shows. The suit, filed in State Supreme Court in Suffolk on behalf of an 18-year-old Manorville resident, names the university, the baseball team's Head Coach Thomas Caputo, Assistant Coach Elliot Robles and 30 yet unidentified members of the team. The suit makes claims of negligence, negligent supervision of student athletes, negligent hiring, retention and supervision of the coaching staff, assault and battery, intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress and breach of contract.
