A 22-year-old U. S. Army Reservist claims she was raped by "one or more" soldiers this past weekend at a men's barracks at Fort Indiantown Gap Military Reservation in Lebanon County.

Several male Army Reservist soldiers are suspects, and the investigation is ongoing, said Trooper Carl E. Williams of the Jonestown state police barracks.

The victim is assigned to the 233rd Quartermaster Co. from Wilkes Barre. In a press release, Williams said the alleged assault happened between 11 p.m. Saturday and 1 a.m. Sunday while the woman was visiting an all-male soldiers barracks on Grubb Avenue in East Hanover Township.

The woman was initially taken to Hershey Medical Center for medical treatment and then transported to Harrisburg Hospital to receive further medical treatment, police said.
