Teen pleads guilty in hazing incident

SKOKIE, Ill. -- An 18-year-old pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery for taking part in a violent hazing incident involving Glenbrook North High School students in May.

Judge Timothy Chambers sentenced Rachel Guidone, a former Glenbrook North senior, to one year of court supervision and 40 hours of community service Wednesday, said Marcy Jensen, spokeswoman for the Cook County state's attorney.

The maximum sentence allowed was one year in jail.

Guidone has completed the community service, Jensen said. She also was ordered to have no contact with the victims and take a drug and alcohol evaluation.

Guidone's attorney did not immediately return a message left seeking comment.

More than a dozen youths were charged in the incident, which gained worldwide attention as videotapes of it were played on news programs. The tapes show junior girls from Glenbrook North being covered with mud, paint, feces and garbage as onlookers, some hoisting beer cups, cheered.

Six of the youths have been sentenced so far.
