WHDH: Clinton High School is defending its decision to let a basketball player play after he was arrested for allegedly beating his girlfriend. According to court paperwork, Herberto Rojas Jr. and his girlfriend got into an argument when driving in Fitchburg. His girlfriend said he punched her in the face multiple times. Police said the girlfriend had “swelling to the right side of her face and her lips as well as red marks on the side of her face.”
Rojas allegedly got out of the car and fled. Police later showed up at Clinton High School and arrested Rojas. Rojas went to court on Friday, where he was arraigned on charges of assault and battery. He then returned to class and played basketball for the high school that night. School officials said since Rojas was not convicted, he is innocent until proven guilty and they permitted him to play.
This asshat is a real winner. And of course he spends his weekends in Fitchburg. Because Clinton is basically just a smaller version of Fitchburg.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – society does not take domestic violence seriously enough.Not until someone dies. Like with Jarred Remy. He beat the shit out of his baby’s mother on multiple occasions. But it was all good and society treated him like a normal human being instead of the savage that he is. Then when he finally killed her everyone said, “we should’ve seen that one coming.” Well, yea. Obviously. But I guess we’re just never gonna learn our lesson.
As a matter of fact this kid could run for State Representative and Maura Healey would still endorse him if he ran with the right letter next to his name. After all, by continuing to endorse woman-beating Moses Dixon for State Rep she clearly sent the message to young men like Heriberto Rojas – you are allowed to hit women when you’re angry. Domestic violence is the number one issue affecting women, but politicians never talk about it. Instead the people who endorse and support women beaters are the same people who campaign on lies and myths about gender wage gaps and overturning Roe vs. Wade.
That’s basically what Clinton High School did by allowing this guy to play basketball. “Innocent until proven guilty.” The 1915 Clinton High School men’s basketball team would never have stood for this.
Those guys don’t beat women. They beat West Boylston.
Imagine the New England Patriots pulled this “innocent until proven guilty” stunt with Aaron Hernandez? I’m sure that would go over well. Plus, the cops came INTO CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL and arrested his ass. And he played basketball for the school later on that day!! That’s INSANE!!!
Newsflash CHS administrators – he did it. It’s not even in question. The girl had a swollen face and red marks that are consistent with being struck in the face. You don’t get to punch women in the face one day and play basketball for your high school the next. Education might be a right, but playing basketball isn’t.
And for what it’s worth, the kid isn’t even any good. He scored ONE POINT in the game in question. One. They were playing St. John’s. Now I haven’t had the chance to follow much high school basketball this year, but I can guarantee St. John’s won that game by a million. So why would they bring this sort of public scrutiny on their school for such a meaningless game?
Here’s my question – where the hell is the MIAA? This is an organization that suspends kids for smoking cigars at their graduation parties. This is an organization that brought a high school student to court to try to prevent him from playing football at the high school he attends. But they’ll overlook an arrest for domestic violence? Yea, that about sums up the priorities of the MIAA. It’s Roger Goodell for high school kids.
Anyway, Clinton High School administrators owe the public an apology. They owe survivors of domestic violence an apology. The owe the victim in this case an apology. Because let’s be clear – allowing this kid to play is an endorsement of domestic violence.

It’s funny how everyone here’s this and takes it as if he’s that bad kid. There has been numerous occasions where this girl has proven she is phyco! She’s a liar and crazy. Everyone sees this says how junior is such a terrible person. How u gonna say that and not know him? You’re telling me that he punched her in the face multiple times.. and she maganged to not crash? Besides that she claims he got out the car in Fitchburg and some how got to school in Clinton on timeyou idiots believe everything you see! And you have no idea what it has done to this innocent kid. He’s had problems before with her cheating and he’s said he’d fight the guy she cheated on him with but never would he hit a girl. Never did he say that either, who ever made this article really has nothing better to do in their life it’s kinda pathetic. Once this case goes to trial and he is proven innocent it’s sad because he’s going to have this reputation now because everyone who has heard about it likes to assume he actually did it. Wtf is wrong with you guys?
Lmao who really cares??
Domestic Violence is no joke. That is who cares dumbass.
He’s a minority so obviously he needs a second chance or ten before he finally matures to a somewhat functioning part of society. I bet after 10-15 years in jail he will become a muslim and change his ways.
Even Muslim need to read and write. Did you see his FB posts? This kid seems barely literate
There has to be a piece missing here….doesn’t add up
What’s missing is the brains of the administrators at CHS
I hope whatever team is playing against them puts an unsaid bounty on this little punk ass bitch and makes him have an unfortunate season ending injury.
Too late. They played St John’s and got slaughtered. They didn’t even need this kid to play
If you get arrested, you are OFF THE TEAM….Nevermind suspension for a game or two. OFF! Clinton couldn’t even suspend him for ONE game. So Clinton, it’s ridiculous! That’s why Clinton is a cesspool.
Heah- We’re Clinton, we’re different. We treat sports kids like gold, while everyone else, well, not so much. Remember the football Super Bowl winners a few years back that almost beat a kid to death and left him in the road? What happened to them? No suspensions, no detentions, no repercussions..Oh yeah, they were so loved in town, the judge said they could write “I’m sorry” letters and go on their merry way (all but the Puerto Rican one that is) why is anyone surprised at this??? Have you been in CHS lately? The inmates run the asylum
So, if a member of BLM accuses an officer of violence that officer should be immediately fired? No, that would be silly. So why is it not OK for that right (yes, “innocent until proven guilty” is a right) to be extended to this kid?
Because extracurricular activities are a privilege, not a right. And, there used to be rules like, if you skip/miss a class, you can’t play or practice that day… I guess an arrest doesn’t matter. “Innocent until proven guilty” is for criminal prosecution, not school rules violations. Just like Constitutional rights only apply to citizens.
Do you and your thesbian girlfriend ever think about adding a little meat to your sandwich sometime? I’ve never done a 3 way with 2 girls before.
Every feminist who COULDN’T EVEN about stuff Trump said should be outraged that this is going on. Domestic abusers are the lowest of the low!
Seriously! How about some SJWs go protest in front of Clinton HS?
Oh wait, that won’t work, because SJW are worried only about imaginary problems.
Myself having had the experience to play for an NFL team for four years that you may have heard of, can you say Boston Celtics? I can assure you that this isn’t the behavior of a pro athlete.
I remember you! Didn’t you win the Heisman Trophy as a striker with the C’s? Then gave up millions in salary and endorsements to go fight blood diamond dealers in Zimbabwe?
As an Irish Sagittarius I am deeply offended by there mascot, and demand reparations immediately.
I wonder how his teammates feel about playing ball with an abuser? What’s that do to the locker room? And where the hell is the coach? Isn’t he supposed to be teaching these boys how to be men? Isn’t that part of what organized athletics in high school is supposed to do?
I WAS THE LEAD DETECTIVE ON THIS CASE.. KID IS A GOOD BALL HANDLER THAT’S WHY I LET HIM OFF WITH A WARNING.. NOTHING LIKE A TEEN PLAYING WITH MY BALLS!
