According to the Associated Press, three members of the Fitchburg State hockey team have been “barred from campus” while police investigate their possible involvement in an off-campus sexual assault.
Fitchburg police confirmed to the AP that the alleged assault did occur, but would not say when or where, or if the female victim is a student at the university.
The report also states that the names of the hockey players have not been released as they have not been charged with a crime.
A university spokesman said in a statement that all three students have been prohibited from attending classes and participating in athletics pending the police investigation and more serious sanctions could follow, including expulsion.
