TRENTON, NJ — More than two years after being pulled off the state police force following a night of drinking and group sex that a woman claimed was gang rape, seven New Jersey state troopers are being allowed to return to work under terms of a settlement that keeps their names secret.

The men, who were not criminally charged, will filter back to active duty between mid-April and July after serving unpaid suspensions of six to nine months. They were suspended with pay after the December 2007 encounter with a 25-year-old coed, and their pay was revoked in October.
