In April 2015, the 1991 lawsuit that Jon Hamm was a part of came to the public’s attention. According to Yahoo, Mark Allen Sanders — a Sigma Nu pledge at the time — claimed that he was “severely beaten,” had the “claw of a hammer beneath his genitals” while being led around, and then had his pants set on fire. The lawsuit named seven fraternity brothers, which included Hamm. The incident happened in 1990, and the lawsuit called out Hamm specifically because he was “mad, I mean really mad” when Sanders messed up or couldn’t remember mandatory facts about fraternity members. Hamm also allegedly used a paddle to hit Sanders, among other claims.
After the lawsuit was filed, People reported that Hamm had a warrant out for his arrest along with the other frat members named in the case in 1993. Yahoo reported that Hamm received “deferred adjudication” as his charge, which is a plea deal of sorts where the defendant receives court-ordered requirements like community service, probation, or some sort of program in exchange for pleading “guilty” or “no contest” (via US Legal).
