Eight men who were videotaped allegedly assaulting and humiliating a 19-year-old college student in Isla Vista were indicted by a county grand jury.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Joyce Dudley announced the indictment Monday during a court hearing. The indictment was handed down Sept. 20; arraignment is set for next week.
The videotape obtained by sheriff’s deputies shows the former Santa Barbara City College student being force-fed shots of rum, stripped naked and urinated on at an Isla Vista home in September 2000, investigators said.
