A total of 13 former Salisbury University students have now been sentenced in connection to a hate crime and assault investigation that began with an alleged ambush off-campus late last year.  Investigators say that a Salisbury University student posed as a 16-year-old boy on a dating app to lure an adult male victim to an off-campus apartment on the pretense of sex on October 15, 2024. When the man arrived, police say a group of 15 students, all affiliated with a Salisbury fraternity, ambushed and assaulted him. The victim would later tell police he believed he was targeted for being gay, launching a hate crime investigation.
