N.J. Troopers' Case Over, But Questions Remain

Rider Student Alleged Rape After Meeting Officers In Trenton Nightclub

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) ― Seven New Jersey state troopers will not face criminal charges after a seven-month rape investigation. But it's unclear whether -- or when -- they might return to work.

The troopers' lawyers and union representative say state administration officials will examine the case to determine whether internal charges could be brought against the troopers.

One of the lawyers, Jay Fahy, says he does not know whether the
troopers will report for duty on Monday.

In December, a 24-year-old college student reported to authorities that she had been raped in the home of a trooper after a night out at a Trenton nightclub.

Seven troopers were suspended with pay while prosecutors investigated the claims.

Prosecutors announced Thursday that there would not be charges against any troopers, but did not explain why.
