CHARLESTON (AP) — A federal lawsuit alleges three Logan County sheriff’s deputies sexually assaulted a woman after accosting her and her companions outside a Logan bar.

The U.S. District Court case does not identify the deputies or the woman and two men who filed it alleging the September 2008 incident.

The lawsuit says the deputies put the woman in a patrol car after she failed field sobriety tests. It also alleges the deputies threatened to kill the woman’s two companions.

The woman was allegedly driven to a dirt road and raped by three deputies while a fourth stayed in the vehicle. The lawsuit says the woman went to a hospital after they released her.

Defendants also include Logan County’s sheriff and commission, and an unidentified Chapmanville police officer who allegedly helped accost the plaintiffs.
