Twelve Salisbury University Students Charged in Hate Crime Assault

Twelve Salisbury University students have been charged with assault and hate crimes after allegedly luring a man to an apartment and attacking him due to his sexual orientation. The victim was invited under false pretenses via Grindr, where he was then beaten and verbally abused by the group. The incident, which was recorded without the victim's consent, led to the students' suspension and the fraternity's suspension. The attack has drawn condemnation from the university and LGBTQ advocacy groups.
