Judge: Trooper can't be asked about sexual actions

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - July 31, 2008 The unidentified trooper claimed his constitutional rights would be violated if he was forced to meet with internal affairs investigators to discuss his off-duty sexual conduct.

U.S. District Judge Mary Cooper agreed Thursday, and scheduled an Aug. 14 hearing on why the order should not be extended.

The seven troopers were suspended after a college student claimed she had been sexually assaulted in a trooper's Ewing Township home in December after a night out at a Trenton nightclub.

Prosecutors announced earlier this month that the troopers would not be charged, but the troopers still face an internal investigation.
