WASHINGTON, Pa.—A jury has been selected to try a Maryland man charged with raping a southwestern Pennsylvania university student during an off-campus party.

Twenty-six-year-old Harold Stanback Jr., of Capitol Heights, Md., was a student at Indiana University of Pennsylvania when he was charged in December with raping an 18-year-old woman from California University of Pennsylvania, another state-owned school. Stanback is no longer enrolled at IUP.

The Observer-Reporter of Washington, Pa. (http://bit.ly/Nlv1ob) reports Tuesday that Stanback was visiting a fraternity at California U. when the alleged rape occurred. Stanback contends the sex was consensual.

Police say the woman didn't know Stanback's name but later identified him through surveillance footage taken at a basketball game earlier the same day.

The Washington County jury selected Monday is scheduled to hear the case beginning July 16.
