WAYNE, N.J. (AP) — Five students at New Jersey's William Paterson University face charges stemming from the alleged sexual assault of a female student in a dorm.

University President Kathleen Waldron told students and faculty in a statement that the attack occurred Tuesday on the Wayne campus and the men have been barred from campus.

A university spokesman tells the newspaper the suspects are Jahmel Latimer of Hoboken, Darius Singleton of Jersey City, Garret Collick of Paterson, Noah Williams of Camden and Tremaine Scott of Vineland.

It's not clear if they have lawyers.

The university president says her deepest concern is for the woman and her heart goes out to the student and her family.
