A college student in New York City died after being drugged and raped in her dorm room by two alleged drug dealers accused of lying to her about which drug she was ingesting — and then committing sex assault while she was unconscious, federal authorities said Tuesday.
On the heels of newly revealed gang rape allegations against fraternity brothers that have plagued Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, federal prosecutors downstate announced a new indictment against Moises Freire, a 19-year-old from the Bronx, and Brian Peralta Cabrera, an 18-year-old from Queens, for allegedly conspiring to distribute fentanyl that ultimately led to the fatal poisoning of a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology and the near-death of her friend in March.
