American accused of assaulting a Pennsylvania student is being extradited to the US, prosecutors say

- The allegations against Cleary include stalking and sexually assaulting an 18-year-old Gettysburg College student at a party, as detailed in a 2021 felony warrant.
- The accuser, Shannon Keeler, gathered evidence and witnesses and spent years urging officials to file charges, eventually discovering the Facebook messages from Cleary's account.
