Hockey Players Charged

Five hockey players at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth sexually assaulted a female student Thursday at an afternoon drinking party, police said.

The men allegedly lined up outside a bathroom, where the woman was hiding from their grabs and suggestive comments. When she emerged, four of the men sexually assaulted her before the fifth raped and sodomized her, campus police said.

Jeramie A. DiBona, 20, of Weymouth, pleaded innocent Friday in district court to charges of rape and sodomy. Three other players have been charged with assault and battery.
