Rhode Island police have arrested seven men and are searching for another in connection to the sexual assault of a 16-year-old girl, a video of which was reportedly posted on social media.

The girl was allegedly lured to a party in December 2019 and plied with alcohol and drugs before they “forced themselves” on her, said Providence Police Chief Hugh T. Clements Jr. in a news conference Wednesday.
