On Wednesday, Pennsylvania, Dauphin County District Attorney Francis T. Chardo announced they’re charging 10 students in the case. He said:
“Two students, both seventeen years of age, have been charged with multiple counts of criminal attempt to commit involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault, unlawful restraint, simple assault, and hazing.”
The remaining eight students were charged with various offenses from unlawful restraint, simple assault, hazing, and violating the hazing statute.

“As many as six other students may have been assaulted but they have been reluctant to cooperate with the police.
