VIDEO: Salisbury University students attack gay man
(Editor’s note: The accompanying video contains graphic violence and homophobic slurs. Viewer discretion is advised.) The assault of a gay man by a group of Salisbury University students in Maryland has drawn national media attention since last week.
So far, 12 men ages 18-21 have been arrested in the brutal attack. The students allegedly lured the man to an apartment because of his “sexual preferences,” according to local police.
The victim, a male in his 40s, allegedly propositioned someone on Grindr who claimed to be 16 years old, an attorney for one of the suspects told the Baltimore Banner.
The age of consent in Maryland is 16. Once the victim arrived at the apartment, a group of more than 12 suspects emerged from the bedrooms and attacked, punching, kicking, and spitting on the victim while using anti-gay slurs.
