Prosecutors say the woman was visiting a disco with a female friend when an unknown man brought her a drink that likely was spiked. The woman left the club with him.

She reported that he and several other men later raped her.

Prosecutors say investigators tied DNA found on the woman to a 19-year-old Syrian man. The other suspects, all adults under age 30, were arrested in recent days.

Authorities said most already were known to local police.
