Nationwide warrants have been issued for two men accused of sexually assaulting a St. Cloud college student this past fall.
According to charging documents, 20-year old Dipak Phayal is charged with first and third-degree criminal sexual conduct, as well as first-degree aiding and abetting, while 19-year old Sujan Tamang faces three counts of aiding and abetting for the encounter.
The two men are accused of forcing a student into her dorm room on First Avenue South in St. Cloud in the early hours of November 1. Allegedly, the woman was raped by one while the other held her down.
According to the criminal complaint DNA samples taken during a medical exam of the victim matched both of them. They were allegedly seen in surveillance video hanging out in the dorm lobby when the woman returned to her dorm, then leaving and coming back having switched clothing with each other.
Both men denied involvement in interviews with police. Criminal complaints say that both men have left Minnesota. According to police, their whereabouts are unknown.
