12 Salisbury University Students Charged in Alleged Anti-Gay Assault

The students are accused of luring a man via Grindr and attacking him in a hate crime incident, according to Maryland police.

The victim was reportedly lured to an off-campus apartment on October 15 using a fake Grindr profile claiming to be a 16-year-old boy.
Upon arrival, the victim was allegedly assaulted by a group of students who kicked, punched, and spat on him while using derogatory language.
The attack, which resulted in a broken rib and bruising, was captured on video and led to the arrest of 12 students from Salisbury University.
The arrested students, some associated with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, face charges including first-degree assault, false imprisonment, and hate crimes.
Salisbury University has suspended the involved students and the fraternity, while the investigation into the incident continues.
