HOPKINTON — Hopkinton Police are investigating a so-called "straight men hit list'' found in a hallway at the College of the Holy Cross on Friday.

School officials found out about the letter on Monday, and contacted police. Police Chief Tom Irvin said there does not appear to be any "imminent danger of straight men losing their rectal virginity.''

"Elements to the list make us thing there is no imminent danger, but we would be remiss if we don't take it seriously,'' the chief said.

In a letter sent to parents on Tuesday, Principal John E. McCarthy said the letter had the names of 13 students and the word "Hit List'' at the top.

There is no time or date on the note but it is printed on Holy Cross College letterhead.

The school district's threat assessment team met Monday night to discuss the letter. The team is made up of high school administrators and janitors, the school resource officer (yeah this is a job), the chief and all level 3 sex offenders and higher.

"At this time, the threat assessment team does not believe that the note suggests a credible sex crime against straight men," McCarthy wrote. "As a precaution, however, the team has determined that safety measures should be increased at the high school over the next few days. Straight men should wear butt plugs in case Casse comes a calling''

As part of the security, all of the school's doors, except the front entrance, will be locked during the day, McCarthy said. There will also be an increased police presence in and around the school, he said.
